Rwanda goes Digital Television
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 30 Aug '09

Inspite of having more broadcasting professionals, a larger market and more broadcasters Kenya's lagging behind as Rwanda goes DTT. ---- Thursday, 27th August 2009 E-mail article Print article Rwanda to have digital broadcasting by next year BY GERTRUDE MAJYAMBERE Rwanda will fully start digital broadcasting by March next year, five years earlier than the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) deadline for all countries to adopt the terrestrial digital broadcasting. This means that Office Rwandais d’Information - Orinfor, a state owned information agency will have the capacity to host eight different channels. The agency’s officials say that preparations are in high gear with the construction of Television and FM radio towers countrywide. Innocent Nkurunziza, Head of Technical Department at Orinfor said they signed a contract with HARRIS, an American company to manufacture, supply, deliver, install and train staff about digital transmitters. He said that according to the contract between the two parties, transmitters will be manufactured next week and after 90 days the equipment will be ready for shipment. With Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial (DVBT) digital broadcasting, top quality images and sound is telecast whereas analogue signals are subject to fade and interference. The trial for digital broadcast in Rwanda started in 2005 with different channels including CNN, TV5 and Rwanda Television. For some one to receive a digital signal, a set top box will be needed to convert digital signal to analogue to be watched on TV or posses a digital TV. According to Nkurunziza, a set top box costs about $100. “When we go digital broadcasting apart from quality images and sound, editing will be much easier, faster and safer compared to analogue,” Nkurunziza said.

KENIC missing out on great funding opportunity
by Ashok Hariharan 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

there was a thread sometime back on high cost of .co.ke domains because of volumes / the money is used to fund KENIC etc ... here is an idea i hope someone at KENIC can make use of : presently it isnt possible to buy <my domain name>.ke (only <my domain>.co.ke ... or <my domain>.or.ke ...). if KENIC allowed purchase of secondary TLDs i.e. <my domain name>.ke they could actually ask for higher prices for certain domain names : e.g. --- http://mi.ke (i am sure there are many Mikes in the world willing to pay good money for that domain) --- http://clar.ke , http://broo.ke apart from names there are english words ending with ke ... : --- http://li.ke http://ba.ke (some bakery i guess ?) http://sna.ke Here is a time article from 1999 (about the nation of tonga who marketed the .to tld ..... by 1999 they had sold 17,000 domains at $100 / 2years ... thats already 17 million dollars back in 1999 ...when the dollar was actually worth something ) <http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,26349,00.html>

3G, WiMax, Fibre optic WAN connections
by Tuma Barua 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

I cant resist sharing this with you. I came across GEDA Limited, a company that deals with the above solutions. I was impressed by their services in deploying WAN internet connections. More importantly by their willingness to offer other services on top of internet access at very reasonable costs. Should you be keen in buying 3G Modems, routers, wimax or fibre optic connections,you better deal with Justin, of GEDA Ltd. He is on 0722525242 or 0204441900, at SOIN arcade, westlands road. support kenyan, buy kenyan. Endelea ku- Tuma Barua.
