Safaricom allocated license for 800mhz
by Ali Hussein 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

Listers FYI. See attached Kenya Gazette Notice. This license for the 800mhz seems to have been allocated solo without a bid.‎ It will enable them to go commercial on LTE 4G and home broadband......furthering their dominance with assistance from the state? Confusing signals? On one side CA is bent on 'taming' Safaricom. On the other it is issuing new licenses without a bidding process? I can't pretend to know the process of how this comes about but would appreciate a step by step explanation by anyone who is familiar with this process. I'm sure there is a valid explanation to this..

Fwd: Media Invite: Handover of the Critical Infrastructure Protection Bill
by Ali Hussein 01 Sep '15

Listers FYI. Step in the right direction. I urge all of us to read this bill. One thing I'm curious about and that I have repeatedly spoken about:- Why is it that the ICT Authority and other agencies in government like to send us invitations for an event that is supposed to happen less than 24 hours later? Shouldn't we be given at least 72 hours notice?
