Excellent points Kagwe and Ebele. Kagwe, I remember the last time Safaricom tried to give Internet services to the community, they did not contribute to the USF kitty with the argument that they have already used their allocation to serve the people. We should be careful to know exactly what these companies want in return. On the other hand, I don't see schools paying for Internet services either way. We struggle with basic bills like water and electricity. And internet know should be regarded as a basic commodity too. Ebele, the government has taken initiative to train teachers on best practices on use of ICT tools. If there is anyone with the curriculum, it wold be great to share with the community. And the issue of child online safety should be tackled better by the implementing consortium. The safety mechanisms should start with the devices themselves. That should be part of the strategy of Moi University and JKUAT who won the initial phase. Regards On 17/02/2016, James Kagwe via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

I might be wrong but there is this adage 'there is no free lunch'. What are the terms and conditions for the service offering by Airtel. And as someone else asks did the government negotiate with other providers for the same service. Something is smelling bad somewhere.

A very big step in the right direction!!

Indeed the presence of a number of CSs belies the importance that this project is getting from the government.

Kudos to the former CS of ICT, Dr. Matiang’i for midwifing the process and to CS Mucheru for picking up the baton without missing the step.

True that @Walu & Wangari. Were the other providers requested if they could provide similar services ...free or not? It should be a level playing ground.Even if Safaricom stepped up and offered the services (for free), I wonder what obligations they would expect the govt to make in the future.

When did the coffee start to be served? Too much coffee aroma around for now and it seems there will be plenty on the table to drink very soon! As the local community, we look forward to hanging out within public schools to access the free internet - so the impact will be even greater. Someone help me here - this "free internet thing by private players" in the name of inclusion or public service will it lead us to the whole price distortions discussions or discrimination discussions at some point? "...majuto ni mjukuu". I recall years back when shares were being sold locally one of the bidder at least offered Ksh. 1 (or such a figure) - just so that they weren't offering "free service"). They took the cake home and built a portfolio while also building their organisation's identity in their industry. My take is that this project is already too late - it should've been in the kids hands already. m|y prayer is that new fiascos that lead to delays have no room to come in. Wel be taking too many kids and our country backwards. Blessed day.

I applaud the concept of 'free services'!!! However, my point is, is this a level playing ground for all service providers? We have come along way on the DLP & the govt should make every effort to avoid anymore pitfalls at the last mile. We have great ideas, but always tumble on the implementation. Do due dilligence ....that's it!!! Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2016 10:38:07 +0300 Subject: Re: [kictanet] Press Statement: Digital Literacy Programme Proof of Concept (POC)- Airtel jumps in, who else?

Let's applaud Safaricom for this great initiative instead of looking a gift horse in the mouth. CS Mucheru has even said that the first pilot will also include Airtel.
