Unfortunately recent events has shown us unequivocally that politics and Internet Governance are inseparable.. Sad but true.

I think it is too early to Judge his Excellency D. Trump, time to
separate politics from actual governance.

Thanks for sharing. This particular part of the story caught my eye:-

Trump has proclaimed he opposes net neutrality, despite making it abundantly
clear he doesn't appear to actually know what it is (he appears to falsely
believe it has something to do with the fairness doctrine). As such most
people believe he'll work to gut the current FCC, which as we've noted has,
for the first time in arguably twenty years or so, actually been doing a few
things to actually help broadband consumers and sector competition.

My take on this is simple. As much as we are interested on what the US will
do going forward let's clean our house first. Net Neutrality is a very low
priority item in the scheme of things in Kenya and Africa in general. We are
hoping that the new ICT Policy 2016 will eventually address this issue.

Where the US is concerned I think we need to look at how the new
administration will treat the IANA transition seeing as it is that the
Republicans now have control of both houses. I dare say that how they engage
going forward will have a dramatic effect on how Global Internet Governance
will shape up. And the question we must ask ourselves is this:-

Will the Trump Presidency enhance Internet Governance as we know it or will
it weaken it and give China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and their ilk the excuse
they need to Balkanize the World Wide Web?

With Donald Trump now the President elect, all eyes in telecom have turned
to what happens now in regards to FCC telecom enforcement generally, and
our shiny new net neutrality rules specifically. Trump has proclaimed he
opposes net neutrality...

Mombasa and we live nearby to look after his mum) and I work remotely
