Free Wi-Fi in Ongata Rongai matatus!
by Davis Onsakia 27 May '13

27 May '13

Dear all, Free Wi-Fi in Ongata Rongai matatus - moving wireless hotspots - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xzX7u3OeMw&feature=share Enabling working on the move, in the jam as well as when traffic is flowing. Just thinking that those studies which indicated that Kenya loses some whopping money because of traffic jams did not consider such innovations! The guy additionally indicates that he is planning on installing CCTV cameras in the his matatus to monitor any pickpockets. This is indeed internet everywhere - next step, commission a study to find out the benefits and implications of such entrepreneurship. I surmise that one of the surprising findings will be: it is good to be in a four hour traffic jam, going to Ongata Rongai City in a matatu :) This will be time and money saved not hours lost!

Google introduces a form of sending and receiving money from your inbox. From any part of the world and on a usd currency. What impact will this have ? Will it rival mpesa ? Will it spear head deeper internet penetration as people "demand " this service? Will it affect cross border economies ? Sent from my iPhone
