As you may have noted, TKL are in the fore front in bringing this technology to the country and they will therefore not only benefit as investors, they will also significantly reduce the cost of their bandwidth. Today they have to pay satellite providers very high fees and therefore they also charge higher prices. It will be a win win for all concerned including the customer. -- Joseph Mucheru Executive Director mucheru@wananchi.com Wananchi Online Ltd Voted ISP of the Year 2006 Computer Society of Kenya Annual Awards 30th November 2006 Panari Hotel, Nairobi Are you hosting your domain name with the leaders??: See http://webhosting.info/webhosts/tophosts/Country/KE

Wednesday evening news: the minister sounded committed when signing the survey by Tyco, he expressed the ministry's desire to reduce the cost of international bandwith from the current $7,500 to the more competitive $200 charged by India,
i just hope that this venture will mean more outsourcing jobs for kenyans and the same commitment in terms of regulation, for instance, the minister talked about the connectivity of every village in India, if it happens, it would tie well with the whole issue of universal access
what will happen to Telkom, now that it will be easier and cheaper to send data, voice and images via IP??
