Bw PS, I was really hoping someone else would say this but here goes, The costs have indeed come down - BUT NOT for 'Wanjiku' (common man/woman). We all know - courtesy of KDN and others- that the WHOLESALE bandwidth prices are down - BUT unless and until retail prices (back to the local/retail loop?) follows suit, there will be zero impact. Indeed if you recall one Onyango Hatari that we had to kick-off the list, he gets very confused and angry when he keeps hearing that the costs have come down and yet he continues to pay Ksh 1000 for 300MB of internet access that can just disappear after 5min of downloading some video/software content.... It is like saying the International cost of oil are down. But if our local pump prices remain high, it can only raise anger rather than hope. walu. --- On Fri, 10/9/09, bitange@jambo.co.ke <bitange@jambo.co.ke> wrote:
