Re: [Skunkworks] Mobile charges by the second or minute, but whose?

Folks, I am pleased to inform you of the latest BIG ICT Consumers Association of Kenya's lobbying success!! Following below, and surrounding advocacy activities, the Meteorological Department has now taken up the task of calibrating mobile companies timers!! "it's time we found out who has been robbing who? (time-wise)" This proves that our Association's involvement in National Standards setting process pays off. The Association now intends to deepen and widen it's presence on productive local standards setting processes and initiatives.

Rahim, >My problem is not the price. It's the discrepancy between the >price in the >States and the local office. A 350 dollar difference is a bit I feel i also need to voice my concern at this point. I also realized that when you go to the Apple site and then visit Elite's shop, the price difference is rather overly-marked up. I recall having an intense debate with one of the attendants giving reasons such as the economy is bad etc etc...Maybe now we can have a real reason why there is such a huge price difference. Ofcourse i know the MacPro and other hardware sold there arent for everyone, but seriously, that price mark up is way steep. Ill appreciate some revert on this, Thanks -tyrus _IEEE Member. -- Criminal Lawyers - Click here. http://tagline.hushmail.com/fc/BLSrjkqj9JOClCP3t4r0zJQtFgjIAGufJOlKsp24Y1HC…

2009 East Africa Internet Governance Forum (EAIGF): Advancing the Internet Governance Debate in East Africa ³Thinking Globally; Acting Locally² The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) <http://www.kictanet.or.ke/> , the Kenya Network Information Centre (KENIC) <http://www.kenic.or.ke/> in collaboration with other organisations are pleased to invite you to the second East African Internet Governance Forum (EA-IGF 2009) to be held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) in Nairobi, Kenya, from 7th to 9th September 2009. The 2009 EA-IGF is a follow up to the inaugural EA-IGF that was held in November 2008 in Nairobi, which aimed at catalysing the Internet governance debate in the East African sub region. With the increased access to broadband infrastructure in the East Africa region and the continued spread of sophisticated mobile services, understanding and addressing Internet policy issues has become a priority. The national and regional EA-IGF¹s will help prepare East African stakeholders to address the opportunities, strengths and challenges that arise, as well as ensuring that they have a voice in shaping Internet policy decisions at the global level. This year¹s EAIGF therefore seeks to continue to strengthen the national and regional dialogues on Internet Governance as well as; * Increase awareness of Internet Governance issues, including but not limited to local content and cyber; * continue to develop capacity and skills of various stakeholders and build regional consensus on IG issues; and, * Begin to discuss the development of a regional East African Communication policy, among others. The outcomes of the EAIGF will be submitted to the East Africa Regulatory, Postal and Telecommunications Organization (EARPTO), the African Parliamentary Knowledge Network (APKN), the East African Community, as well as, the fourth UN Internet Governance Forum taking place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in November 2009. Further, the 2009 EAIGF will set the stage for the 37th ICANN meeting to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, in March 2010. For planning purposes, please register for the meeting at http://www.eaigf.or.ke or send an email to meeting(a)eaigf.or.ke confirming your attendance. Kind Regards, ----------- Vincent Ngundi Administrative Manager KENIC - The Kenya Network Information Centre http://www.kenic.or.ke vincent(a)kenic.or.ke [T] +254 20 4450057/8 [C] +254 20 2398036 [M] +254 733 790073 [F] +254 20 4450087 ³dot KE for Every Name in Kenya!² -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Hey people, Anyone got a soft copy of all postal codes in Kenya? The likes of 00100 = Nairobi City Center. A MySQL script would be even better. A long time ago, I got all postal codes by searching for * on some section for getting postal codes on posta.co.ke, but lost that list. Thanks!
