Two NTV Presenters discussing Konza City noted many are asking if is just a real estate venture or a really a tech city. They also noted many software developers work from home or incubation hubs and are being served well already in Nairobi. They did not note online services (developed by software engineers) reside in data centers. Many data centers now reside in 20 or 40 foot containers. Do we not need more buildings/towns developed/optimized for such (data containers)? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/15/data_centre/ http://www.crn.com/news/data-center/229500594/containerized-data-centers-mov... Kenya is doing well building infrastructure, now we are moving deeper into the information age / knowledge economy :) On Wed, Jan 23, 2013 at 9:58 AM, Baiju Shah <baiju@tele2media.com> wrote:

@Liko, You/Pesapal is a big player...and you should be there hustling with the big boys at Konza Technopolis. Dream big, and you will be surprised how soon your dreams come true. For me, Konza is an example of what we as a country are capable of. A break from the past, where we compared ourselves to our neighbours (e.g Somalia with apologies) and a leap into comparing ourselves with where we belong (read Malaysia, Singapore et. al.) Lets aim for the Sun, because the worst that can happen is that we land on the moon.  Rather than aim for the main, and by 2030, we shall still be here on earth :-)   walu. ________________________________ From: Agosta Liko <agostal@gmail.com> To: jwalu@yahoo.com Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 3:36 PM Subject: Re: [kictanet] KONZA GROUND BREAKING CEREMONY-CONGRATULATIONS Mr Nduati Raising concerns and shaping decisions does not make one a doubting Thomas but the, this thing is for HP, Oracle, Microsoft ... not Nairobi Hustle Tech Thanks On Tue, Jan 22, 2013 at 3:49 PM, charles nduati <charlesnduati2002@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: Hi Daktari Ndemo and Your team,
