For those still keen on this issue. Goes back to acquisitions of Snaptu and

Memorable quote:

""You cannot present a marketing strategy as an important public policy in a

country. If it's going to be a market strategy, then do it as a market

strategy and we can deal with that. But when you mix it with the public

policies, it's a whole world that opens that is not good."

What shall it be, for Kenya? Btw, technology neutrality is listed as a

principle in the National Broadband Strategy...
