Ali, I wish to set the record straight on this matter. What the DG said during the COMESA cyber-security meeting was as follows: · That the CCK will soon delink itself from the governance of KENIC in line with the requirement of the law. CCK is finalizing on the licensing framework for the ccTLD business segment. As we have indicated on this list before, the framework shall be subjected to stakeholder consultations as soon as it is ready. · He also encouraged local firms and individuals to adopt the dot ke domain names to ensure that we keep local traffic local.

++1, we can only build capacity and scale by supporting our own data centers. The quick wins of foreign hosting are sweet, but in the long run, we are killing our tech industry! And there are many big businesses in Kenya that can afford the premium prices charged locally, that is why kili.io have seen the need.

Good one Phares :-) But of course the problem is that hosting in Kenya is abysmal and won't get better until Kili is off the ground and/or Angani is out of beta. Until then, there is no mature local hosting option. In addition, tech thinkers in Kenya needs to think big and move beyond talking about selling .ke domain names - that's all peanuts and de minimus in the Internet economy. There are a few people here who think that Billion dollar (not shilling, dollar) global tech startups can be founded in Nairobi and at least that's the ship I'm throwing my bag into. The government can help a bit but fundamentally, this needs to be an all hands on deck effort where people push Kenya up the value chain in whatever way they can. I happen to have skills in cloud computing and can help launch a public cloud. Government agencies can do things like get corporate registration happening online in under 3 business days, letting work visas get approved in a timely manner, make paying taxes simple and without requiring much effort. Community groups like iHub and Nairobi Dev School can keep on developing young talent and bringing people together. Companies like BRCK and Kopo Kopo can keep getting investment in here and building locally based teams with global and local talent. And we'll all get there step by step.

What the DG said during the COMESA cyber-security meeting was as follows: · That the CCK will soon delink itself from the governance of KENIC in line with the requirement of the law. CCK is finalizing on the licensing framework for the ccTLD business segment. As we have indicated on this list before, the framework shall be subjected to stakeholder consultations as soon as it is ready. · He also encouraged local firms and individuals to adopt the dot ke domain names to ensure that we keep local traffic local. We do not know where the reporter got the story of developing regulations to compel firms and individuals to host their websites locally from.
