Your opinions on the best corporate ISP
by Simon Mbuthia 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Hi guys, Someone I know is looking for *opinions* on what ISP to go for. They've been on a 1 Mbps link from some ISP and what they are getting is far from satisfactory. So he's looking for an ISP with low downtimes, fair cost and excellent customer service. Someone has already suggested UUNET because they are now MTN... but I think that's a speculation, but it may be a correct assumption. Your ideas are most welcome and appreciated. Me. P.S. If you work for a ISP, please don't forward this to your sales and marketing team as I am not soliciting for quotations and requests for appointments; just *opinions* ;-)

DVB Technology Change over
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

I have some good news and some bad news. Bad news for early adapters to Digital Television like myself and great news for those who have not bought Set Top Boxes (STBs). The Government of Kenya has decided to change over from DVB-T http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T to DVB-T2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T2) technology, just like that (mutado?) The main difference being the number of channels that can be carried with T2 offering greater efficiency than it's predecessor. The point of contention is this, for Nairobi and greater Nairobi where the initial deployment was done, they'll carry on with Simulcast (transmitting both) until 2012 when they'll switch off DVB-T. This means for those who've bought them STBs you'll have no option but to dump the current one and get a T2 compatible one. FYI this was a News item yesterday and there's no consultation with the public. Cmon Ministry of Communication you can do better than this, I also think they'll switch off faster DVB-T sooner than 2012. Let's wait and see.

OT - M-Pesa THUGS!!!
by Ken Teyie 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Had to share this. A random guy just called me from a Safaricom number (0701-582665) to say that I have won 50 K and wanted to take me through how to access the loot. I decided to play along. Guy: Congratulations, you've won yourself 50K. Before we proceed I need to confirm that you are the real owner of this number. (OKAY) Guy: What is your name: (I say Joseph Kamau*) * not real Guy: Confirmed it is in the system. When was the last time you used M-Pesa and How much did you send? (TODAY, I SENT 10K)...confirmed. if we send you 50 K now, what will be your new balance (70K, i said)..OK Guy: Now we have a set of two numbers which you will need to enter in your phone. They will help 'EXPAND' your Mpesa account to be able to hold more than 50K. Please give us a another line we can reach you on to take you through the process of retrieving your win. (I GAVE HIM MY Airtel LINE) GUY CALLS MY AIRTEL...Now we have the winning number and a code number. Go to the Mpesa menu and press okay twice. Enter the winning number (000254702314871) [OF COURSE I DIDN'T ENTER, WROTE THE NUMBERS ON A PIECE OF PAPER ], press ok. Now Enter the code number (00016666) and press ok twice. GUY: By this time the phone should ask for your PIN. Don't tell me the PIN punch it directly...it is your secret number don't share it with anyone ...lol [OKAY I HAVE ENTERED] GUY: Press ok and wait for the money to be transferred to your account,... With the guy still on the line we waited for more than 10 mins... until my lol sold me out!! With all the lottery going on in Kenya today, am sure some people have already fallen victim to this kind thuggery....the guy wanted me to send 16,666 (code number) to his other number!!
