Re: [kictanet] Fwd: [Skunkworks] Do commercial web portals andsitesfall into Content Service Provider category?

23 Sep 2009

      Hi,

Thanks for the kick in the bat we keep putting road blocks in our way, sometimes to stop us from taking action.

We shall proceed and let CCK make an interpretation of the same.

See you online.

Hi y'all,
My small contribution. It seems that many of you have not
tracked the evolution of the licensing framework and market
structure as CCK has undertaken over the past 10yrs.
The seeming 'contentious' Content Service Providers
license - does not apply to web sites - but more to business
that make money by hosting/distributing content - perfect
example, the former "PRSP" licensees i.e. Premium
Rate Service Provider - these are the people who deal in
premium rate calls and sms - also provide stuff like
ringtone downloads, MMS images etc....
Several years ago a foreign consultant commented about
Kenyans' attitude towards laws and regulations, he said
that we'd rather hold back from doing something until we
are sure that it is within law and regulation rather than
innovate, do it, and then let the laws and regulations catch
up - as happens everywhere else in the world. So, let us
shake off this 'regulo-phobia' - get out there,
innovate and grow the economy, for sure, neither CCK nor the
Ministry will stand in our way.
Regards,
Brian

Yawe,
...
To mr knowledege, nobody has ever asked the Government
to
...
lower the fee.
...
The fee is not the problem.  Make the content first
...
then I will fight for
...
you tooth and nail.
...

Hi,
...
...
...
...
From your response Mr. Ndemo we can assume that
the
...
100,000/- fee payable
...
...
to "content services" will soon be
waived or scraped
...
entirely as a means
...
...
to clear the way for content generators?

Solomon,
...
...
Over regulation is bad.  It curtails
innovation.  My
...
prayer is to have as
...
...
many Kenyans online as possible.  This can only
be
...
achieved by developing
...
...
relevant content.  I want to know for example
the
...
origin of the names 
...
...
Mwangi, Omolo, Ndemo etc.  Only local people can
do
...
this.  Genealogical
...
...
data will occupy us online more than anything. 
We
...
therefore need a local
...
...
wikipedia.
...
...
...
...
Once local corporations realize that five million
of
...
us are online,
...
...
digital adverts would follow.  It is estimated
that
...
more than 60 percent
...
...
of adverts would be online.  In other words it
is up
...
to us to create
...
...
content that will take most our people online.
...
...
...
...
On pricing of Broadband, I will do anything
within the
...
law to ensure it is
...
...
affordable -- that is below 200 dollars a MB. 
Let us
...
allow competition to
...
...
drive it down.  Teams was ready for service on
Sept.
...
15 and I gues some
...
...
operators are waiting to see who takes a plunge
with
...
attractive offers. 
...
...
Whichever way someone will bolt out.
...
...
...
...
Once again, let us not always put the law in
front. 
...
If you break it in
...
...
the process of innovation, we all shall
understand and
...
possibly make
...
...
something.  Let us emulate the Brits with their
...
Common Law.  Use common
...
...
sense, always have good intetions and embrace
great
...
moral standards.
...
...
...
...
Ndemo.
