Hi guys, I would like to have your recommendations on people who can build a wireless network. The scenario is as follows; -three sites about 20 Km apart from each other. -Line of sight can be achieved by building a mast of approx 50m at each of the sites. -Are there any licenses necessary?? etc. Kindly give me your comments. NB. I dont want to go through a service provider.

M-Pesa Upgrade : I am a typical Kenyan
by Odhiambo Washington 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Now that M-Pesa system was upgraded successfully, what are the new benefits it introduced? I don't keep a single contact on the SIM card, and I don't intend to. All my contacts are in phone memory. Do I have to save those contacts to whom I send pesa on the SIM card for me to use the "lookup" facility? Aren't the developers good enough to make the lookup use phone memory-based contacts? ;-) Ok. What else did they introduce with the upgrade? Just the lookup and improved transaction capacity or is there another? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

Re: [Skunkworks] Africa Online - Infinet Service

@Collins, thank you for taking the time to respond on a list. You have replied to almost all my queries and am 90% sold on the idea of switching over. There are a few more queries, hope you will respond asap. 1) How much and where can I buy the modem as I saw from your website about the 50% offer? 2) Once I have the modem, how do I activate the un-capped 256kbps services? 3) Are there plans to bring in un-capped 512kbps & 1Mbit services and at what rates? 4) Given the minimum throughputs that indicated at peak times, how will these be 3) above? 5) "Tortured Bandwidth" . I know the tech part etc but I'd like to know whether internet traffic is being tortured into classes/priorities therefore making it useless for my needs. Orange 3g+ was the only provider to have clean traffic until recently when they went down the road as other providers. On 3g+ the main class is http, then followed by ftp. For example, I urgently needed to download a 240MBytes file on ftp yet I could only get about 60kbps which made it impossible to use the services anymore. As a better example, in the earlier days a cyber could use 64kbps and serve 4 computers. These days the same 64kbps has been tortured into working on a handset only. 6) If you could provide a specs link for the modem, I think its kyocera but want to ensure it woks with my wifi gear. Many thanks and I'm definately interested.

OT: Individual Post paid voice plan on Airtel - Views needed
by Tony Likhanga 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Hi folks, Anyone with experiences on the Kencell/Celtel/Zain/Airtel post paid scheme? I'm seeking to enroll on a personal post paid plan; primarily for voice use. I occasionally roam and data access is simply for light use browsing. I have received one nasty evaluation from a colleague on the same; citing weird charges & unaccounted for bill items. I need a couple more reviews to decide whether to enroll or not. PS: Limit the discussion to Kencell/Celtel/Zain/Airtel only. Tony.

The Japanese Embassy is not "JUMVEA" - the organization that arbitrates in such cases. If you have a case against an importer (and this particular one will be hard to prove), then JUMVEA is the organization to approach. However, there is a caveat: Kobe Motor must be a member of JUMVEA in order for them to take up the case. The onus of verifying whether or not Kobe Motor (or any other Japanese Used Motor Vehicle Exporter) is a member of the A (Association) lies with the buyer. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!
