Wangari This list has been consistent on the issue of Net Neutrality. We have urged policy makers to make this a priority. This is also on the ICT Wish List presented to the new team at the ICT Ministry. We are making steps. Slow ones for sure but I have faith in the new team to elevate this issue to the importance it deserves. However some of these issues can become non-issues very quickly if we provide affordable connectivity, get the Universal Service Fund off its fat behind and get moving in the right direction. Nature dislikes a vacuum and like anything else when we fail to provide an affordable alternative foreign players will come in to entice you with 'free' everything. Lets be clear:- THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH.

Does this mean that Kenya and the other countries are gullible, have sold out or they have seen ahead of the times?
I really wish our more learned tech friends here would enlighten us with the interests for Kenya - that is if you understand. We know that the players in discussion may be your friends too or business players. Otherwise Kivuva continues to be a lone rattling parrot ....
Blessed day.

Clearly the issue of Net Neutrality is beginning to get the attention it needs. Yet...it's still so misunderstood. Fortunately learning institutions like Strathmore (through bright young minds like Nanjira) are beginning to tackle this issue. They all need our support and input.

I just wanted to say that we at Facebook STRONGLY reject the sentiments expressed by Marc Andreesen last night regarding India.
He does not speak for us.

Listers The issue of Net Neutrality is becoming pretty hot.. Marc Andreessen sparked a furious tweet storm by suggesting that India would have been better off under British rule because of the recent decision on Internet pricing and 'free' access. See link below. Africa needs to define its own Net Neutrality rules..And this needs to be done yesterday.
