Hi, I am an old techie, and I have decided that the younger techies need to take up the gauntlet and blaze a new path, if the old do everything then what hope do the young have.

We could then broadcast Dr. Ndemos presentation when after it is done. This would allow me to get on TV.

In the US IPTV and Cable TV are more widespread than free to air TV. Congress recently asked why FCC continues to manage the frequency spectrum. It will not surprise if the next big TV station is Safaricom TV, Google TV etc. Much of the digital signals will be carried via communications networks. As voice becomes competitive, the meat will lie in content and its channels of distribution. Already if you have a webcam, we could stream our discussions to some IPTV (No license required from CCK). Ndemo.
Hi,
Now that the country has gone digital broadcast and there are additional free frequencies its time we considered a dedicated technology channel.
In the interim we can also take advantage of the operationalised Media
Bill that requires that all content on the airwaves must contain 60% local content which means that the media houses will soon be shopping for locally produced programming.
Therefore if we produced a local show covering ICT issues we should be
able to have a mouth piece for the industry. In addition sessions like the one on the ICTPark by Dr. Ndemo could have been easily aired live and therefore reach all without the need for them to travel.
Lets think about this.
