Dear all, I am sure we have all heard about the digital migration launched in December 2009. Although of course the government said this will be complete by 2012, there is little on the ground to indicate this will happen. Besides, there are doubts that most Kenyans will afford the set-top boxes. Does anybody in this listserv believe the government will do it? Does anybody have data on current consumption of digital media (including for example the diffusion of mobile television)? How much user-generated content is there on the internet and mobile telephony in Kenya? Why have media been unable to develop the 40 per cent content to be broadcast on the digital platforms? Answers to some of these questions will help us understand digital media, its diffusion and utilisation in Kenya. -- Dr George Nyabuga Associate Director School of Journalism & Mass Communication University of Nairobi Education Building Harry Thuku Road PO Box 30197 - 00100 Nairobi, Kenya Tel: +254(0)20 318262 Fax: +254(0)20 2229168 Mobile: +254 (0)72151 6573 Email: [email protected], [email protected] www.uonbi.ac.ke ----------------------------------------- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI IS ISO CERTIFIED The University of Nairobi is committed to providing quality services to all its clients.
