I want to thank those who took time to send views on Day1 topic. It is not too late to add more views on Day1 topic. Just ensure you post the contribution against the correct title.

Today we move to Day2 theme: How to Develop ICT Info-Structure.

*Local Content,

*Broadcast Content, Diversity, Cultural Identity

*Access to Information/OpenData

*Local Application Development

Background:

Info-structure is what runs on the physical infrastructure. Having empty cables with no activity is evidence of missing or under-developed infrastructure. Additionally, some bandwidth activity maybe irrelevant and may not add value to the socio-economic agenda of the nation.

So today we talk about what needs to be done to ensure a vibrant local content industry. Content includes broadcast (film), blogs, websites, etc. We need to hear about the incentives we need to facilitate content creators & application developers work.

How should Government Open-Data, River-wood and other Creative initiatives impact local content economy? What policy and strategy interventions can unlock the local content economy?

There is no right or wrong way of saying what you want to be captured. We have a Secretariate that will extract and frame the issue in a suitable policy or strategy format.

We have 1 Day on this topic. Dont fear, just fungua roho :-).

walu.
