Barrack :-) Yes, internet.org is about building eyeballs in the only region in the world that is recording double digit growth in internet usage - Africa (and Asia to smaller extent). As we say in Kiswahili - Hakuna cha ubwete!

Interesting Ali,
I am yet to see anyone charged for being a nuisance. The City Council call it in their bylaws being disorderly in the public.

Non that I know of. The particular law mentioned doesn't really cover the full spectrum of the problem which should also cover SMS (which I daresay the telcos are the biggest culprits of sending unsolicited nuisance SMS Blasts). The rule of thumb these days is an opt-in as opposed to opt-out functionality. Simply put, I mean that Telco X should stop sending me unsolicited SMSs. Instead they should ask my permission first before sending me SMSs that I have no interest in reading. It seems trivial but one day it will come to bite them. Do we have laws to enforce this? Unfortunately not that I know of. In other words this is called:-
PERMISSION MARKETING.
And when it comes to this we are in the dark ages..

Does Kenya have an Anti Spam law?, can anyone familiar with the present law point me to an area that deals with Spam or other unsolicited communication?
