Re: [isoc_ke] EU hits Google with Anti-Trust complaint
by WANGARI KABIRU 22 Apr '16

Happy Furahi Day! Thank you for sharing the piece! "One big difference in U.S. antitrust law is that the ultimate barometer of whether something is illegal is whether it negatively affects the consumer—for example, by raising the price of a product or service. That would make it difficult to prosecute Google for antitrust behavior, since the vast majority of its products are free. The European Union, however, doesn’t need to make that argument—it’s free to find Google’s behavior illegal regardless of what it costs." ISOC KE during the next Internet Governance Forum, the Competition Authority would be a great guest to "demystify this Anti-Trust, Dominance terms and practical application. Today's local tech start-up may be less concerned, however, it is the next global tech giant soon. Blessed day.

Fwd: [Internet Policy] Universal service fund in the U.S. has failed badly. Despite $billions, U.S. has close to the worst coverage in the developed world.
by Barrack Otieno 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Listers, In light of Walu's write up on Universal Access, this might provide an interesting comparison. Thank you Best Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dave Burstein <daveb(a)dslprime.com> Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2016 02:48:29 -0400 Subject: [Internet Policy] Universal service fund in the U.S. has failed badly. Despite $billions, U.S. has close to the worst coverage in the developed world. To: Richard Hill <rhill(a)hill-a.ch>, "internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org" <internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org>, Alejandro Pisanty <apisanty(a)gmail.com> Folks I changed the subject to avoid getting entangled in the debate about the particular report and focus on the issue of achieving access. Based on the U.S. experience, I believe USF funding is inefficient at best. The U.S. has about 5M homes that can't get landline broadband despite $7B in our stimulus and billions more over the years in Universal Service money. (FCC data) That's 7-10X the unserved rate in much of Western Europe.The greater land area is only a partial explanation. See the work of Professors Rosston and Hazlett as well as Scott Wallsten, who was chief economist of our broadband plan. I did two workshops for our Broadband Plan. I don't have depth on the issues in other countries but what I know suggests USF isn't performing well most places. I believe the Kurth Solution, named after the German regulator, is strongly preferable. Unserved rural areas by their nature are scattered and have limited local infrastructure. In most places, only the incumbent has the local facilities and backhaul required to serve the area at competitive cost. This became obvious when almost none of the applications for our broadband stimulus were from new entrants looking to connect the unserved, although that was the primary goal of the funding. The result was that the local phone company could and did claim their costs were far higher than they needed to be. Add on the political power of the phone companies (regulatory capture) and the system is spending what I estimate is easily twice what an efficient subsidy would be. (Limited hard data.) Kurth in Germany covered most of the "white spaces on the map" at a much lower cost. In a spectrum auction, the carriers were required to cover white spaces before they use the spectrum in the big cities. While the companies could reduce their bids, WIK Consulting told me the impact was very small. Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom, spending their own money covered those small towns rapidly and what I believe was far less than any USF subsidy would have been. LTE speeds are now 50-100 megabits, enough for most purposes. The caps on the rural wireless were much too low but technology is rapidly improving that. Today's LTE gear has 3-4X the capacity of the earlier systems, mostly through carrier aggregation. More advanced MIMO and MU MIMO are likely to deliver 10X the current capacity in the next few years, according to leading wireless experts such as Stanford's Paulraj. That will allow raising the cap to perhaps 100-150 gigabytes/month, probably with unlimited access nights and mornings. Portugal and others are working with a similar system. ---------------------------------- Unless you have a plan to educate the regulator and enforce reasonable pricing in USF, I think the plans are somewhere between overly expensive or ridiculous. The U.S. couldn't do it despite major efforts since the Broadband plan. The "Kurth Solution" - indirect competitive bidding as part of the spectrum auction, seems to work well. It's not the only alternative. Australia is building a National Broadband Network for everyone. Unfortunately, the cost has gotten out of hand, as so often happens with government projects. India may have a better idea; the government is extending fiber to 10's of thousands of small towns with the expectation private or cooperative efforts can deploy the last mile. The backhaul costs are often the largest expense in rural service. They require so much capital few but the largest companies can finance backhaul. With mobile phones and WiFi gear now under $50, local businesses or munis can connect to that fiber and serve the area with a small investment. This is very promising, although political entanglement has drastically slowed construction. Some government projects work well (China), others we know are unsuccessful. ------------------------------- Satellite has become much more attractive than before. Mark Dankberg, Viasat CEO, told our broadband plan today's satellites have an order of magnitude more capacity and reduce latency by half. (They haven't solved the 22,000 mile distance but improving the routers and caching apparently makes a huge difference.) No politician would admit it, but the assumption in the U.S. plan was satellite for the last 1%. All current Universal access programs may have become obsolete on December 21, The Falcon 9 successfully launched a constellation of 11 Orbcomm-OG2 second-generation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The first stage returned to Cape Canaveral successfully, which Elon Musk's company says will reduce costs by about 30%. The first two sea landings failed but April 8, 2016, Falcon 9 Flight 23 successfully landed a 1st stage booster on drone ship Of Course I Still Love You. Low Orbit satellites solve the latency problem but still have a way to go. Small, inexpensive tracking antennas need to be developed. An engineer I respect has studied the problems and expects LEO sats will be the way to go in a few years. Facebook's drones will probably never be cost-effective just serving extreme rural areas, I believe; I'm anticipating they will need urban customers to cover the costs. Their engineers may be good but the head of the project didn't know the facts on the ground. I haven't researched it but I expect the rapidly dropping costs of LTE will be much less than the drone network. I would guess the same about Google's balloons but the team seems far more knowledgeable. I've bcc'd this to the experts mentioned. I hope they and any others catch any mistakes I have. The above is only about access. I'm very encouraged by the new U.S. Broadband Lifeline, a $9.25/month subsidy for the poor where networks are already in place. Broadband networks are a classic case of high fixed costs/low marginal costs. The marginal cost of adding a customer to an existing large broadband network in America or Europe is $4-8/month.

Why Doesn't All These Tech Seem To Catch The Banking Turmoils in Kenya?

Happy Ladies Day! Would the great surprises being fed to the 'poor' banking public by our banks this year reflect that our banking systems require a jerk in the knee to truly safeguard the publics interests, layout suitable products, secure public funds and communicate timely,correct,factual information? The rules seem to be changing fast for the players and customers are hit hard by the closures or panics caused. There has got to be a way to build confidence in this industry. Blessed day.

Digital privacy discussions: Day one,
by Liz Orembo 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Dear listers, Today we begin our online discussions on digital privacy. By electing a government, we give it a responsibility to protect our security and in the course of that, they make policies by which our data is collected and used. Nanjira had shared a CIGI-IPSOS research (here <http://ipsos-na.com/news-polls/pressrelease.aspx?id=7159>) on digital security and trust done early this year which found out that: - 75% of Kenyans law enforcement agencies should have a right to access the content of their citizens’ online communications for valid national security reasons - 66% agreed that tech companies should not build technologies that prevent the law enforcement agencies from accessing the content of their communication. 1. Are ‘National security’ and ‘terrorism’ being used as a means to justify government breaches of security? 2. Is data collection proportionate and justified? And how secure are our government's’ information systems from other parties 3. How can the tech industry work with the government on security while ensuring people's right to privacy are not infringed? 4. What are your concerns on government collection of data and surveillance? Karibuni. -- Best regards. Liz. PGP ID: 0x1F3488BF

"This means that commuters can travel for free throughout Kenya and all they need to do is watch TV commercials for the duration of their trip" Let us try to imagine that such a service would be there even after April 1st!!!!!! Warm Furahi Day Greetings, Free Basics, Uber reared their horned-heads into the Digital Content Creators forum with CS Mucheru firmly expressing his stance for "half a loaf or unbalanced diet theorem is better than no food at all". This did not seem to augur well with the local content creators from the audience murmurs and audience speaker comments made. Why?? Later in the day, it was cited that one of the international education publishers - Pearson started an education initiative in Tanzania then pulled out, a former staff has picked it up, cleaned it up and launched it in Kenya. In addition to reference to the expanding education network for Bridge schools. It seems disruption when it comes from "international players" is viewed as unstable, unfair leverage by coming in with big foreign monies that the local creator may never access, not necessarily solving local needs but prescribing the solutions with their interests, they may and at times have walked out any time.

SavvyRide, as Dotsavvy will be soon be rebranded, is an innovative mobile app that enables commuters throughput Kenya to simply ‘push the button’ on their mobile devices and a taxi will come to their location within minutes, for a free ride. SavvyRide is different from other players in this space such as Uber and Easy Taxi in that it offers its on-demand taxi service free of charge and makes money by running ads on dedicated high definition (HD) screens throughout its taxis. This means that commuters can travel for free throughout Kenya and all they need to do is watch TV commercials for the duration of their trip. According to Sarah Ntiro, SavvyRide’s Project Manager, the service was developed after over a year of on the ground research to find out what Kenyan consumers were looking for when it came to on-demand taxi services. This research informed the decision to launch SavvyRide to disrupt Kenya’s incumbent on-demand taxi services. ‘By offering SavvyRide, we are making it possible for Kenyans to travel throughout the county for free. No one can argue that this is a value proposition that is hard to beat. As a result, our modest projections show that we can capture over 20% marketshare of the on-demand taxi services market by July 2016 on this basis’ said Sarah Ntiro. SavvyRide will initially be rolled-out from 1st April 2016 in Nairobi and its environs and will expand over the next few months to Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret. The SavvyRide team has already been recruiting hundreds of taxi drivers in Nairobi who are eager to get started as they want to compete with Uber and Easy Taxi drivers on equal terms. SavvyRide has also secured key brand advertisers who want to market their offerings to SavvyRide customers as they commute using the free service. SavvyRide’s ultimate ambition is to expand the service not just in Kenya but across Africa and the rest of the world with its radically disruptive business model. SavvyRide will be available for download on Google Play and the Apple App Store from today, the 1st April 2016. Do remember that today is the 1st April 2016 so this is the perfect day to launch SavvyRide.

Listers How much does a Kenyan Startup CEO earn? Join the Survey, #KenyanStartupCEO https://t.co/tEkcJNunxO Interesting discussions going on in one of the Ke Entrepreneurs Whatsapp Groups. The gist of the discussion is this:- Do Kenyan Expat or migrant Start CEOs earn more than their Kenyan counterparts? The discussions since yesterday have been heated and sometimes downright, albeit veiled, hostile towards the so called expat/migrant CEOs with some claiming that they earn more because of...you can fill in the blanks. However without empirical data these are just assumptions. Are you a founder CEO hustling in the Kenyan Startup Scene? Join the conversation by filling in the form below and sambaza it far and wide. https://t.co/tEkcJNunxO This is part of building our ecosystem and ensuring that we become a global force in Tech Space. This may mean that we open (really open) our doors to a global workforce. If done well without insinuations and a veiled hostility towards our compatriots flocking into Kenya then we can truly become the Silicon Savanna we strive to be - with or without the Real Estate Infrastructure that is currently being built at the Konza Technopolis.

Fwd: RANSOMWARE BY NAME LOCKY.
by Gideon 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

Listers, I'm not sure if you have heard of this ransom-ware called 'Locky'. I'm forwarding this email FYI, its important not to open any attachments with executable files especially if they are unsolicited emails. Locky is the worst because the only way out if you don't have backups stored elsewhere you are forced to pay a ransom. http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/locky-ransomware-aggressive-hunt-vict… Regards Rop ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wisdom Donkor <wisdom.dk(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Mar 24, 2016 at 11:52 AM Subject: [governance] RANSOMWARE BY NAME LOCKY. Dear All, Yesterday at 2:38pm an employee in one of the organisation in Ghana was attacked by ransomware by name locky, this ransomware was sent in an email with an attachment , the attachment contained an ms-word document with a malicious macro, the locky program was activated when the user clicked "enable editing " after the document was opened, this macro begun an encryption process using a RSA-2048 and AES-128 algorithm, the encryption process targeted the following file extensions *.docx;*.pdf;*.pptx;*.xlsx;*.doc Yesterday Three US hospitals were hit by "locky" as well,The IT systems of Kentucky Methodist Hospital and Chino Valley Medical Center and Desert Valley Hospital, California, were infected with this ransomware, The files cannot be recovered unless the victim has an offline backup to recover from or pays a ransom with bitcoins via the darkweb,the attackers promise to send the private key in a compiled program to decrypt the victim's files after they receive payment. System restore cannot restore files just settings so it will not help in this case. Third-party recovery software cannot recover the encrypted files because the files are not considered as deleted. The previous ransomware by name "cryptolocker" did not rename the files it encrypted so it was possible to recover your files by using the windows "previous version" feature, however "locky" renames all the files it encrypts so that windows cannot index the file's shadow copies to recover them. CERT-GHANA recommends that all users open email attachments with caution especially executable files.
