We need to get serious about certain issues like wanting to keep things small and cute, WiPro runs a graduate academy that hosts over 18,000 people a year and only employ 1,200. This is the level of engagement we need to aspire for not tiny little over funded projects. It is foolhardy to say that the iHub should be feed and blotted rather than expanded to serve and reach more.
I think their Infodev/UoN/eMobilis consortium developing an incubator is their expansion attempt. There is a notice in the Nation today asking for applications to their program.

The iHub is a prototype keeping it under wraps is a disservice to the Nation. From Liko's comments I know understand why he offered to give a presentation at AITEC in Nairobi in 2010 and the he did not show leaving many of us disappointed
You and i were supposed to be on a panel together there as well, but I didn't see you. Too bad, was hoping to finally meet up.
