TV switch-off meetings to start by month end
Discussions between the communications industry regulator and a consumer lobby to come up with a new timeline for digital migration are set to begin before the end of this month. Communications Commission of Kenya director general Francis Wangusi on Tuesday told the Nation that the commission was setting up a team that would hold meetings with the Consumer Federation of Kenya (Cofek) to come up with an amicable deadline for the switch off of the analogue signal in Nairobi and other parts of the country. http://www.nation.co.ke/business/news/TV-switch-off-meetings-to-start/-/1006...
I would hope that our ISOC-Ke leadership also participates in this meeting. but I would also caution against us seeming to or supporting the Government. We should support the greater public good as we are not Govt and must infact act as a check to Govt. therefore I 'd propose that the views given on the list and elsewhere eg kictanet by members to be used to develop a position that would guide our leadership in such engagement. i also propose that the chair and Secretary collate our views into a position statement for our endorsement. 2013/1/15, Grace Githaiga <ggithaiga@hotmail.com>:

That is an important contribution @Bomu, although listers should be allowed to express their thoughts without any intimidation and independent of the position of the list. So far, both on Kictanet and ISOC-KE, we have seen listers align themselves with the two positions On 15 January 2013 23:54, Grace Mutung'u (Bomu) <nmutungu@gmail.com> wrote:

In all likelihood these meetings are probably "closed door" and only representatives from the two parties in the dispute would be welcome. cell: +254715964281 #*****TRON LIVES*****# On Jan 16, 2013 9:41 AM, "Kivuva" <Kivuva@transworldafrica.com> wrote:
