Hi, Have a new truly broadband link courtesy of Safaricom Business which allows me to watch streaming video with minimal stoppages, if this can be achieved with the stream travelling thousands of kilometres imagine the performance if the content was local. That was an aside, the post is on the growth of cyber schooling in the US today, the reasons for this might be peculiar but as Kenyans we should be able to adopt the concept to meet our unique situation. This can solve the issue of over crowding in our public schools as class rooms can be setup anywhere such as DVs, post offices, CDF offices and governors mansions. The issue of shortage in teaching personnel can also be resolved with this application of technology by having student teachers and university students participate as tutorial assistants without having to leave campus. Dr. Ndemo, I believe this is a killer project for the 4G network that you are about to roll out, can we hack it? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/42535801#42535801 Robert Yawe KAY System Technologies Ltd Phoenix House, 6th Floor P O Box 55806 Nairobi, 00200 Kenya Tel: +254722511225, +254202010696

I think much of it is local now (for some value of the word "local"), with the advent of the Google Global Cache (hosted @KDN) being shared via KIXP, I would guess that at least some of the streams you are viewing are coming from a "local" machine. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek.
