@ Aki, its good you raise this point, with Michael Joseph at KTB, it seems achievable, the link can then be put on the Magical Kenya Website. On 7/19/11, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:
Why do we lack the initiatives to bring this natural wonder to the Internet and gain even more exposure, localise traffic? It's amazing that we have one of the greatest animal migration wonders happening right here in kenya each year, yet not many are aware of the event nor will be able to attend. The animal migration is an odd event, because you have thousands of animals that buildup along the banks of the mara river, at random places. And they also start crossing at random times, as if they recieve a mass communication message at the oddest times and an event that can only be captured if one has knowledge of the area. The closest place that could host a webcam is mara serena which is overlooking a crossing point. Both Safaricom and Airtel have edge coverage in the area, which could be used to provide frame by frame coverage. We don't want people to watch live as they should come to kenya and watch for themselves but we want to also create a live interest.
How can we get Hotels, Lodges to co-operate under one "kenya live" system and who pays for the data rates and equipment costs? We would be very capable of building a central streaming system that would capture live images across the country at various tourist locations from western kenyan to the coast. Back in december, I drove down the road towards Magadi and Corner Baridi/OlePolos had some of the best views that Kenya offers. It's amazing the judiciary is now using live video in 2011 and many were impressed, yet many of us were exposed to such video based systems and designs probably 15 or more years ago so it really is quite easy.
Let's think of adding some great technology value that could bridge awareness to an important natural event, a step towards creation of national ip traffic which has export value. Additional ideas on what sectors can create more ip traffic and interest, comments or suggestions are very welcome.
Thank you.
