Barack you did not differ but agree with me.
But my question still stands why can't KENIC reduce the cost of .ke?
The essence of a PPP is to create conducive environment for the players to feel accommodated and be part of the driving force. KENIC has done well, in addressing the issue of .ke domains, although the
2009/12/3 robert yawe <[email protected]> public perception feels that .com is far much better than anything .ke. If that is the case, then it's time for KENIC to come forward and make the dream of realizing .ke a reality. My suggestion would be to have some kind of approaches which will call for domain name registration which should include the cost of hosting a website. This, IMO, would be, in a great sense, create employment opportunities for the robust and focused web designers and new entities would be registered. I wouldn't advocate for death of KENIC as Bob has advocated!

Bob i beg to differ,
Kenic is an interesting model that other countries are trying to study and emulate and we shouldnt be quick to demonize it, i beleive the organization has come a long way and i would wish to commend its leadership. That notwithstanding my take on the matter is since Kenic is a PPP, then it is upon the stakeholders of which you and i are included to find objectives solutions to the challenge with regard to the .Ke Pricing. We have to be proud of the achievements we have made however kidogo , that is the only way we will improve the industry and move ahead, i was just looking at Internet Stats today we have slightly over 3 million Internet users out of a population of 40 million, the thirty nine million will only be reached if we in the industry collaborate. Regards

Today I renewed by .ke domain under duress, it costs me 3 times the cost of registering a .anythingelse, and even higher if I register for 5 years or more.
Maybe I am a kumbafu, what does it actually take to actually run KENIC, from the charges it must require a super computer with runs off a nuclear powered grid. Can someone please enlighten me on this issue.
I listened to the KENIC director indicate that this cost was as a result of the low uptake, so why punish the choir, can we have the charges dropped or sell KENIC to safaricom or KDN who can then give us domain names for "free" and recover from the bandwidth costs?
This issue of an independent registrar is bull and we need a quick solution to this, then all we do is lament about the slow uptake of technology and the reliance on yahoo and google. We need to stop all this domo, domo and sort out the issues that matter, death to KENIC.
