Do People Buy Websites in Kenya
by David Njuguna 13 May '10

13 May '10

Hey, I bet there must be a rule about not advertising on the list. However for the sake of science, lets see if the Kenyan website flipping market exists? I am selling http://www.dealer.co.ke and http://www.zatiti.com both for $1,000. I will hand over all source code, domain name, and content. Anyone interested call me on 0722 731795? David.

OT : My opinion, CCK should not back down
by aki 13 May '10

13 May '10

Corrections are welcome. Been reading the various articles and reactions of players in the industry including using the excuse that CCK is going to control prices! This is BS... and the operator who is championing the price control clause is playing politics with Kenya's Telco future. A few years ago CCK should have shut down this operator for its lack of reliable and consistent services, then the headlines would have been " Operator ready to drop prices, kenyan regulator opposes such a move ". Telco pricing has been abused many times with short term goals, market killer strategies and they know it. Safaricom knew that the least possible price drop over a given network ratio of usage subscribers and costs with entrance of new operators would be at a certain Ksh/minute. It went down this road very quickly and dominated the market. Kenya's Telco future in not in the hands on ONE operator ( whoever maybe dominant at the particular time ) because if it is, we are going to create a monster. That is the bitter reality. Finding long term solutions is not easy but I must say CCK and others who came up with the regulation have taken the first steps towards streamlining the sector. Sorry Greens, you may have bullied other operators in submission but you cannot bully the regulator. CCK public relations Dept need to up the war of words on the matter because there are 2 sides to a coin. CCK is not a share holder in other any operators so whatever it is doing is in the interest of the country's telco future, lets hope no policitics will kill the good that is going to come out later in future. And to Safaricom : Why 4G and expensive wireless licensing when you have the necessary licenses to compete with Orange/TKL on copper and adsl services? In my understanding, you are taking shortcuts on infrastructure and developments. Why build a Wireless Future kenya when there will be no frequencies left to do so? And as long as we have kenya's vision based on wireless networks, quick deployments and quick profits, we may as well compeletly forget real broadband. Me amature thots, going by the articles. :-)

IT billionaire in Kenya......
by Chips Funga 13 May '10

13 May '10

Good stuff but what' his employees motivation level and their income? Inspirational stuff! However, I'm drawn to his statement: “There is a disregard for Kenyan firms by Kenyans,” he says. “It’s so much to overcome and something needs to be done about it.” ...I guess a lot more needs to be done with respect to advocating for locally developed solutions... I think we have enough talent & skill locally to develop for our local needs as well as export to the markets outside... Kind Regards John

Mash, I need a job there ASAP! nilikuwa nadhani watu wanalipwa na petty cash! Peter, staff motivation ,working conditions and renumeration is fundamental to any organisation health . A company can not be making millions when its employees can't afford their daily bread! Chips funga (What a name?)
