about Google &Safaricom:-xyz@safaricom.com
I came accross the joint effort to b/w google & safaricom with regard to providing e-addresses. Good idea, but my question was: Is the domain 'safaricom.com' locally hosted? I would have been happier (technically and mentally) if the suffix was xyz@safaricom.CO.KE or is it that suddenly the .KE suffix has brought us too much shame and pain that no one wants to use it :-(? walu. nb: as a way of leading by example, I have been planning to shed off my jwalu@yahoo.com in favor of jwalu@jambo.co.ke but I seem to be trapped in some perpetual migration fever...Methinks we need to build .KE, both literally and electronically. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Hi Walu, safaricom.CO.KE is used by safaricom for their staff addresses. It's simply not possible to include the ordinary mwananchi like you into that! :-)

jambo.co.ke - is that Free? Anyway, walu.co.ke will make more sense to me than anything else. PS: As an aside, and at the risk of a flame war, are you personally happy with Safaricom as a provider? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "Oh My God!
