I mean am trying to see the 'miracle' that .eac would do for us in light of the trends suffered by the individual .ke, .ug and .tz and I have not quite succeeded...plse could somebody educate me?
Am no expert by any means, but blue chips like Nation Media, EABL, KQ, etc all follow a common unwritten primacy.Their websites reside on [.com] and their email systems on [.co.ke]. My inference therefore is that this is a volumes game and [.co.ke] can only make sense to 30+ million Kenyans which is insignificant in the global economy. Promoting [.co.ke] can only get you thus far and any campaign will only result in a storm albeit in a teacup. On the other hand, [.eac] gives us an opportunity to reach a critical mass of approx 110million (2% of the world population) and then we have a real chance of the world noticing East Africa. But again, I might be wrong!!
