Daktari Indeed I remember Dubai. That is the price that we must pay for advocating for a sober regulatory and business environment. That definitely doesn't sit well for parties that are always looking over their shoulders instead of looking forward. We must continue to advocate for the right balance to ensure that personal freedoms, advancement of the industry and national security are given their due attention. *Ali Hussein* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim<http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.

Hussein, Some raccoon decided to clog my e-mail with spam as punishment because of the article. I am not opposed to cyber security but some people (and you remember Dubai) want to use cyber security as a basis for stifling internet freedom.

Thanks for sharing. We indeed must tread carefully. There is definitely a case for a regulatory framework. This must however be tampered with the understanding that too much regulation will throttle the industry. It is a fine balance that we must maintain.

n Kenya, we have done extremely well in the adoption of ICTs. This is a field that requires a lot of creativity, but we may just end up killing that creativity with too many rules and regulations in trying to counter computer crime sometimes referred to as cybercrime or netcrime.
