Netflix, CS Mucheru speaks...
http://www.nation.co.ke/business/Keep-hands-off-Netflix-for-now-orders-new-C... “We want the businesses of OTTs to actually be based here. There is a huge debate as to whether we will be billing or charging Netflix, and I think OTT should feel comfortable to invest in Kenya,” “The government is responsible for regulation, policy will come from government then it will be regulated but this will take some time. Regulators have to wait.”- Mr Mucheru
Good direction from the CS. ThIs paragraph caught my eye. Mr Ezekiel Mutua, the KFCB chief executive, on the other hand, said it had written to Netflix raising its concerns on regulation, since it has the mandate to fully regulate its cyberspace. We need to dissuade and educate government officials who still don't get the Internet Governance space.

Kudos Mucheru!! I agree that the policy framework should come from the govt...and should also be comprehensive to include all OTT content providers e.g Google Play movies, Amazon movies, Hulu Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2016 19:10:22 +0300 Subject: [kictanet] Netflix, CS Mucheru speaks...
