Re: [isoc_ke] #KeIGF15 Online Discussions Day Four: Management of Critical Internet Resources
Listers, Feel free to continue with the discussions on the previous days threads. Today , we focus on management of critical internet resources in our country. Questions: 1. Is there an over arching national policy to guide infrastructure deployments within the country? 2. What is the current state of fiber optic cable across the country? Is there any redundancy on the cables laid across the country? 3. Are there policies in place for infrastructure sharing to avoid each operator laying their own cable thus passing the cost to the end user? 4. What is the state of IXPs in Kenya? are we in retaining more traffic locally compared to say 2 years ago? 5. Communications Authority requires all .ke registrars and the registry to be licensed by it before they commence business. Why is the registry being licensed? What would happen if CA withdrew the license for the registry? Why are registrars licensed twice, first by KENIC, then CA? Will over regulation hurt the industry? 6. With the eminent depletion of IPv4 addresses around the world, what is the state of uptake of IPv6 addresses in Kenya? 7. What is being done to ensure there is more uptake of IPv6? Then there is the exhaustion of IPv4 in some regions of the world like ARIN forcing them to go full V6 without dual-stacking, what impact does that have to our country where most networks and content is on v4? 8.Do you have any other views regarding best practice in the management of critical internet resources? The floor is open. Thank you Best Regards
Listers, The thread on Management of Critical Internet Resources is still open as we move forwad, feel free to contribute to the discussion as we move along. In the mean time , i would like to know the current state of service access gaps. The last map i saw on the National Broadband Strategy document published in 2013 showed that close to 50 % of the Kenyan landmass lacked any service, it appeared as if most Critical Internet Resources were concentrated around the key towns and Cities, Nairobi, Mombasa , Nakuru and Kisumu. I wonder if this has changed. Was implementation of this Strategy Document taken over by the ICT Authority or is it water under the bridge.

Interesting and relevant read for our discussion. 03 July 2015 - AFRINIC is now the only RIR able to freely allocate IPv4 address space to its members marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the global Internet. ARIN, the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for Canada, many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands and the United States, announced on 1 July 2015 that it has activated its "Unmet Request Policy". This means that ARIN has effectively depleted its free pool of IPv4 address space, making it the fourth of the world’s five RIRs to do so. This leaves AFRINIC, the RIR for Africa and the Indian Ocean, as the only RIR with an as-yet unrestricted pool of IPv4 from which to allocate to its members. As of 1 July, ARIN members can now only receive IPv4 space if unused IPv4 space is returned to ARIN and is redistributed to those on the waiting list, or if they qualify for an allocation from the reserved IPv4 space in ARIN’s ‘Last /8’, which was set aside to facilitate IPv6 deployment, or via external IPv4 transfer markets. APNIC – the RIR for the Asia Pacific Region - was the first RIR to exhaust its supply of IPv4 address space back in 2011 and the RIPE NCC (Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia) followed quickly in 2012. LACNIC (Latin America and the Caribbean) reached its exhaustion trigger level in June 2014. Source http://afrinic.net/en/library/news/1427-the-american-registry-for-internet-n...
