Absolutely absurd if this is in fact true.How does hosting sites locally mitigated against cybercrime?What business does anyone have dictating to me where i can and can't host my websites?_______________________________________________On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 6:35 AM, Ali Hussein <ali@hussein.me.ke> wrote:

The Communications Commission of Kenya has proposed a licensing condition that may compel Internet service providers (ISPs) to bring websites hosted offshore back to the country in the fight against cyber crime...I sincerely hope that the DG was somehow misquoted on this story. Whilst its a good idea to host sites locally this in no way stops cybercrime or mitigates it. Infact with the rudimentary security infrastructure most providers have I will be loath to host any site locally leave alone an Ecommerce one locally.Can government please focus on legislation and regulation instead of butting into my business and telling me where I should host my website??Ali Hussein+254 0770 906375 / 0713 601113"I fear the day technology will surpass human interaction.
