The study demonstrates, among other things, that domain name registrants are more familiar with new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) than general Internet users who have not registered a domain. Survey participants were questioned about their awareness of new gTLDs, as well as their perceived sense of choice, experience and trust related to the current gTLD landscape. The study completes phase one of a series of ICANN-commissioned surveys intended to inform a review of competition, consumer trust and consumer choice (CCT) in the Domain Name System. A second phase, which will be launched in approximately one year, will serve as a comparison to these baseline findings. Nielsen surveyed 3,357 domain name registrants aged 18+ in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. The survey was administered in 17 languages and participants were drawn from 24 countries. The research, conducted in two waves between February and August 2015, was designed to create a meaningful baseline of data on registrant attitudes regarding new generic top-level domains. "This survey provides us with a better understanding with how registrants view the domain name space and Internet and will help inform future reviews of the program," says Akram Atallah, president of ICANN's Global Domains Division. Along with the Global Consumer Survey, whose results were published in May 2015, ICANN commissioned this survey in response to recommendations from the Implementation Advisory Group on Competition, Consumer Choice and Consumer Trust (IAG-CCT). Among the 66 metrics [PDF, 472 KB] recommended, a subset of 11 were identified as best being measured using a global survey of Internet users. ICANN conducted an open RFP and signed a contract with Nielsen to conduct the study in November 2014. The findings will be a key input for the CCT Review Team to consider. Awareness of new gTLDs high among registrants, particularly in Asia Awareness of new gTLDs is higher among registrants than among general Internet users – 65 percent of registrants reported awareness of at least one new gTLD versus 46 percent of general Internet users. Interestingly, while 65 percent of general Internet users said they had visited a domain in a new gTLD, 64 percent of registrants reported the same. Asia stands out when it comes to awareness – 70 percent of those surveyed said they were aware of at least one new gTLD. Only South America comes close to that level of awareness, with 66 percent of respondents from the region indicating familiarity with at least one new gTLD. More registrants also said they're likely to consider a new gTLD for registering domain names in the future – 61 percent versus 52 percent of Internet users. As with Internet users, the top three choices for registering a new gTLD name were .EMAIL, .LINK and .CLUB, which were selected from a fixed list of new gTLDs. Registrants generally trust the domain name industry Registrants and general Internet users generally place the same levels of trust in new gTLDs and the domain name industry, with some slight differences. Registrants are slightly less trustful (70 percent of registrants versus 73 percent of general Internet users) that entities will take precautions regarding who gets a domain name, but are slightly more trustful (75 percent of registrants versus 71 percent of general Internet users) that those same entities will give general Internet users what they think they're getting. Unsurprisingly, registrants across the board favor no or few purchase restrictions on domain names in new gTLDs. Registrants aware and cautious of abusive behavior online Abusive Internet behavior, including spam, malware, phishing and cybersquatting are a concern for domain name registrants. Awareness among general Internet users and registrants is comparable, with registrants reporting slightly more familiarity with stolen credentials (71 percent for registrants versus 67 percent for general Internet users) and cyber squatting (54 percent for registrants versus 40 percent for general Internet users.) Across the board, registrants also report more personal experience with abusive behaviors included in the survey: phishing, spamming, cyber squatting, stolen credentials and malware. Perhaps because of greater familiarity with abusive behavior online, registrants as a group reported less fear of falling victim to abusive behaviors online. To combat their concerns, registrants are more likely than average Internet users to change their Internet habits, purchase an identity protection plan or simply stop making purchases online. The only strategy registrants are less likely to pursue than general Internet users is to purchase antivirus software for their computers to combat phishing or cyber squatting. Who's registering domain names? The registrants surveyed said they primarily register domain names for personal or small business use. The survey, which was only open to those who had registered at least one domain name, showed that registrants surveyed are mostly male (62 percent) compared to general Internet users surveyed, whose male audience made up 55 percent of the consumer survey sample. Registrants surveyed also skewed younger, with 70 percent under the age of 45, similar to the consumer survey, where 68 percent of the sample population was comprised of those under 45. .COM, .NET and .ORG were the most registered TLDs cited in the survey, gaining 72 percent, 31 percent, and 23 percent respectively of the names registrants reported holding. .COM was cited most in North America with 84 percent of the sample reporting registering a name in that TLD, while only 53 percent reported holding .COM names in Europe. While 80 percent of those surveyed said they had one to five domain names registered, only 40 percent indicated they registered duplicate domain names in different TLDs, with the highest number of duplicate domain registrations reported in North America (46 percent of the sample). Nearly half (49 percent) said a TLD's familiarity was the main factor in choosing which TLD to purchase. Additional study highlights include: * Registrants say a well-known TLD is a key factor in determining which domain name to purchase – more important than a reasonable price. * 61 percent of registrants find it very or somewhat easy to register a domain name. That figure rises to 76 percent in North America and 66 percent in Europe. * About half of registrants would prefer a cheaper, quicker, less complicated experience when purchasing a domain name, as well as a notable desire to make the process of registering in multiple TLDs easier. About the Global Registrant Survey and Supporting Materials The Global Registrant Survey was conducted by Nielsen on behalf of ICANN. The data collection phase of the survey took place from February 19 to August 13 2015, and the final report was delivered in September 2015. A total of 3,357 domain name registrants aged 18+ representing Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America were selected based on ever registering a domain name and being a decision maker in domain name registration decisions meaning they were aware of the purpose of the domain name and in which TLDs the name had been registered. The survey was administered in 17 languages and drawn from registrants in 24 countries. In addition, significance testing was performed at a 95 percent confidence level throughout the report. More than 700 new gTLDs have been delegated since the launch of the program in October 2013. To gauge perceptions of the new gTLDs, the survey focused on the new gTLDs with the greatest number of registrations at the time the questions were developed in January 2015 – .EMAIL, .PHOTOGRAPHY, .LINK, .GURU, .REALTOR, .CLUB, .XYZ and a regionally relevant TLD, including internationalized domain names (IDNs).

The president of the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libert?s (CNIL), France's data protection authority, gave a number of reasons for the rejection, including the fact that European orders to de-list information from search results could be easily circumvented if links were still available on Google's other domains. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- - -- Barrack O.

Posta Kenya should be acquired by Okhi.com & Sendy
by Ali Hussein 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Listers Apologies for cross posting and forgive the long rambling post. Provocative title for sure. I'm prompted to write this by an article in IDGconnect about the woes of eCommerce logistics in Africa. http://www.idgconnect.com/blog-abstract/10220/solving-african-shipping-ecom… One paragraph in the article struck me like lighting:- 'The lack of a national street address system in most nations has also made it difficult for eCommerce to flourish and it continues to be a major obstacle.' Another states:- SIG Africa is currently working with a startup that aims to ease the pain of domestic goods delivery. Sendy, which has been described as ‘Uber for motorcycles’, aims to use the many riders across Kenya to deliver goods for eCommerce players. Sendy’s (http://www.sendyit.com) application is similar to Uber’s interface where you can order a delivery from your phone. The potential of eCommerce in Kenya cannot be underestimated. Unofficial numbers out Jumia's sales at Kshs. 500 million a month. Among these stories of Africans innovating to solve a major problem hampering eCommerce growth is this one about how the Communications Authority of Kenya is working to ensure a Dinosaur is woken up from its deep slumber. The online edition of the Daily Nation proclaims:- Regulator’s new rules a shot in the arm for ailing Posta In Summary They require new postal and courier service providers applying for licences to adhere to conditions such as use of PCK’s vast national networks to interconnect to areas the couriers have no presence. The arrangement will see Posta tap into Jumia’s online international and local markets that serve Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Uganda and Nigeria. Jumia boasts double digit growth, month-over-month, which will be beneficial to PCK. Entry of Huduma centres in 2013 was the government’s way of trying to increase competition in postal and courier services through attractive and fast services to the public. What struck me in the article which I hope to God was misquoted is this:- Posta will now be guaranteed a piece of revenue from all firms in the sector. Firms that do not comply will have their licences revoked. I have no problem with the Government retaining some form of Posta to ensure the rural areas still have a 'link to the outside world' since the Universal Access Fund is now more or less dead despite protestations to the contrary. By the way this is one particular case where I will be very happy to be proven wrong and a Naysayer. If this Fund works as it should Broadband connectivity should be ubiquitous in this country in the next 3-5 years. Which brings me to the main thrust of my post today. That of Policy vis-a-vis Regulation. What comes first and who wags whose tail? 1. Should the CA be protecting Posta as a National Heirloom or should we be nurturing New Generation Heirlooms? 2. Should we have a clear ICT Policy and implement it regarding the nurturing of New Generation Heirlooms? 3. Should we, as part of this new policy be Grafting the New Okhis and Sendys into Posta with the hope of completely altering its DNA? (and this I confess is a big IF) 4. Are the days of so called 'Strategic Parastatals' gone the way of the Dinosaur? Or is there a case for retaining this vestige of a bygone era? I don't confess to know the answer but this is an issue that should be debated vigorously by Kenyans. OkHi is building the next generation address system for Kenya and beyond. This system will unlock commerce through enhanced logistics, save lives and improve access to finance, its website proclaims. Here's a story in the Financial Times:- http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/0ab7cf62-bcd7-11e4-9902-00144feab7de.html#axzz3l7… Sendy boldly procliams that they are an On-demand, door-to-door, package delivery services, 24/7. Let us sit in traffic for you. This 'reverse acquisition' or grafting of smaller players into big ones to change and grow the parent company has been done before successfully. The only caveat is that Government has to literally move aside. This country also has successful case studies of removing a healthy promising child from the womb of an ailing mother and making it a Global Phenomenon. Yes, I'm talking about Safaricom. For those of you young enough not to recall or remember, Safaricom started life as part of the Kenya Posts & Telecommunications Corporation. The CA itself is a product of this Parastatal of a bygone era. And I must confess that despite issues the Regulator in many case has performed above average. Someone at the ICT Ministry has a date with Destiny and be recognized as the team that revived Posta Kenya and made it the DHL of Africa. Will you rise up to the challenge?

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..
