We are working towards that. We need private sector to push these developments. Government is not good in business. We can only intervene to facilitate especially the small enterprises.

Nothing against all the big guns establishing in Kenya but what about a long term objective
of building our own version of Akamai,googles, Limelights etc.
Dont forget the real winners in the knowledge era are those who produce their own not use
others. So our long term objective should be to have our own alongside others because it is
a free market economy.

Good news is that Etisalat (our partners in Teams) in conjunction with
Akamai are building an Internet Point of Presence (POP) in Fujaira thus
eliminating long distance needs for Internet in this region.
The long term objective should be to have the likes of Akamai, Limelight
and google collocating their nodes in Kenya. This will essentially keep
at least 50% of our Internet traffic local.

Michuki.
