Re: [ISOC_KE] [kictanet] "For Africans the Internet will never really be neutral". On net Neutrality in Africa
Alice Thanks for sharing. This issue of Net Neutrality continues to consistently rear its 'ugly' or 'beautiful' head depending on whatever side of the fence you sit. I have asked this before (and will probably continue to) of the official government position regarding this issue. I understand that some of these issues are of little interest to a lot of us but I want to raise a flag that the more we ignore some of these 'boring' issues the day they hit us smack in the face will be when we wish we could have done more. We need a lot more engagement and discourse on this. As a member of ISOC - Kenya Chapter, I will continue to engage on this issue.
