Hi, Now that the country has gone digital broadcast and there are additional free frequencies its time we considered a dedicated technology channel. In the interim we can also take advantage of the operationalised Media Bill that requires that all content on the airwaves must contain 60% local content which means that the media houses will soon be shopping for locally produced programming. Therefore if we produced a local show covering ICT issues we should be able to have a mouth piece for the industry. In addition sessions like the one on the ICTPark by Dr. Ndemo could have been easily aired live and therefore reach all without the need for them to travel. Lets think about this.

Dear Colleagues - those who follow IG matters could be interested in the private sector assessment of last year's multi-stakeholder IGF meeting in Sharm el Sheikh and concurrent suggestions regarding September 2010 meeting set for Vilnius. Business is happy to share this report with other stakeholders. The report will be an input in the 9th February Geneva open consultations and is available for download here: www.cskonline.org/downloads/ICCBASISreflIGFEgypt FINAL_12Jan10.pdf Kind Regards, Waudo What is possible must be done; what is impossible can be done.
Yawe, Indeed convergence is threatening traditional Broadcasting Houses. In the US IPTV and Cable TV are more widespread than free to air TV. Congress recently asked why FCC continues to manage the frequency spectrum. It will not surprise if the next big TV station is Safaricom TV, Google TV etc. Much of the digital signals will be carried via communications networks. As voice becomes competitive, the meat will lie in content and its channels of distribution. Already if you have a webcam, we could stream our discussions to some IPTV (No license required from CCK). Ndemo.

Dr. Ndemo, Thank you for the information, now that we are becoming more of a doing forum, referring to the up coming briefing, I would like to challenge those techies out there to setup an IPTV streaming server that we can test. We could then broadcast Dr. Ndemos presentation when after it is done. This would allow me to get on TV.
