All Clearly the issue of Net Neutrality is beginning to get the attention it needs. Yet...it's still so misunderstood. Fortunately learning institutions like Strathmore (through bright young minds like Nanjira) are beginning to tackle this issue. They all need our support and input.

Thank you for the piece Mildred. It would be great to have ISOC KE run a debate on this phenomenon. There is always two or more sides. I am especially intrigued by the confluence between; tech-marketing-activism-social good! Word for the month: Clicktivism is not exclusively the support or promotion of a cause online. It is the use of digital media for facilitating social change and activism. Blessed day.
