Hi,

You have a very negative nature, why "ka wagoire na ngoi" (google wont help you here)

We contribute to find solutions to our local problems there is a place and time for being the devils advocate.  
Loadmwesh, thanks for the confidence that I can provide direction in providing more reliable peering for local traffic and I will work towards this McTim or not.

In addition can Fiona tell us if the recently launched Mombasa exchange point straddle the 3 marine cables?  On the licensing issue I believe Dr. Ndemo has told us many times that he is willing to be of assistance is we can proof that legislation is hindering progress.  Please forward me the CCK directive that required us to have a content provider license so as to peer at KIXP.

On that issue does it mean that anyone who has a website is requires to get a Content Provider licence?  That would actually be laughable, I always believed that this license was required for short code resellers?

I still insist that the local bandwidth needs to be higher than that of the incoming pipes as the terrestrial cable needs to carry the foreign traffic and local traffic as well.

Regards

At every forum I have attended, the KIXP folk have made it a point to
bring up the licensing issue.

You can't peer with KIXP, you peer with others at KIXP.

IIUC, if you get a Content Providers license, then you can join the
peering mesh.
