Policy on IPV6 would come in handy. Assume that one day we wake up, and there are no more public IPV4 to allocate, yet our companies and government agencies are stuck with IPV4 hardware. According to AFRINIC, we only have like 370 days to exhaustion of IPV4. We are coming to an era where all appliances home and industrial will be IP based. I dream of a day when I will turn on my home alarm from the office, or when I will turn off the fridge from another country.
@Barrack, you are right by calling us names "A copy paste society" J. But don’t forget the East achieved innovation and growth by first realizing that "imitate then innovate" is just as good. Ask Tata motors who now own big brands like Land Rover. Isaac Newton put it correctly, " If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants. ". On us being a copy paste society, you realize the problems we face, struggling with the basic essentials of life, that being food, health, and shelter, and also the mediocrity of our politicians that filters through to the down trodden. Congratulations to the relevant Kenyan Ministries of Technology which have really endeavored to be being abreast with changing trends in the tech field despite the many challenges we face. On innovation, our universities and institutes have outdates labs, and teach outdated subject that were copy pasted some years back from the west. Solutions to these problems have to be found.
As much as Muchuki has put a good effort in explaining the update of IPV6 in Kenya, we are far behind our Brothers in South Africa as shown http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/dfp/all/?country=za
Early adoption of IPV6 would help us learn and get experience on the various services and innovation that we can implement on the new IP scheme. We don’t want to be struggling with implementing IPV6 systems decades down the line after the west are comfortably using theirs. Michuki put it correctly, we need the experience of using the new scheme, not just the theory we learn in Cisco classes. And experience can only be achieved by implementation
DNSSEC signing of the root domain server will surely improve cyber security. We all know DNSSEC has been adopted by Internet Society through the isoc.org domain, and the Public Interest Registry also announced that the entire .org domain is now running on DNSSEC. In the KENIC AGM, the Chairman Mr Burachara hinted that they are exploring DNSSEC, with an aim of implementing it. Maybe the Chairman or Joe can clarify further
Some social complexities of DNSSEC according to http://epic.org/privacy/dnssec/ have been identified
