First, sorry for cross posting. I feel that two days to this and still information is at best, scanty. 1: Is there a website where detailed information on this is available? 2: Does it cover CDMA? 3: How are phones "locked to the provider" going to behave once someone moves? 4: What are the rates, limitations? etc... -- *“The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy”* ~ Alex Carey ~ Tel No: 0x2af23696

Mobile phone jammers...legally or illegally available in Kenya?
by Timothy Mutugi 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hi Sgangs (Skunks pronounced in a Kamba accent), I am interested in blocking use of mobile phones in a 100 meter radius. I have seen mobile phone jammers on the net and I am wondering whether they are legally available here in Kenya and if so, where can I buy them (legally or otherwise). Timo.

Shocking The housing market in Kenya
by Eunice Wa 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Nd'wex, Let me give you a quick review of the property Market,the figures below could have worked in 2008; Today, a 1/4 even in Athiriver, Kitengela, Rongai or Ruiru will not go for less than 1.5m maybe much further inside like Kinaine or Thika-Garisa road you can get at 800k. let leave the building out.... Now, buying a house, the cheapest there is today (about 3.5m) apartment will be a small 2Br in Mlolongo. To the very Max you can only make 20k in monthly returns, a 2M loan for 10 years will cost you a monthly repayment of 31,000, dont forget there are legal fees and stamp duty to be paid besided deposits on Purchase. Notes/lessons Real Estate is great investment, but not for quick returns, average RoI for a house is 120-200 months depending on area and initial costs At times as Gichingiri mentions, rent may be cheaper but for those who can wait purchase is rewarding as you will own it eventually and it will definately appreciate My take, Eunice > Message: 2 > Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2011 08:11:05 +0300 > From: "Nd'wex Common" <flexycat(a)gmail.com> > To: Skunkworks Mailing List <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> > Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Shocking The housing market in Kenya > Message-ID: > <AANLkTikVj0QgVo+GsmL3CDODC1M+8gENrPdo2SaBB=aA(a)mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > Yesterday did some very basic research with regard to housing and found that > armed with 2M you can do either of the following > > option 1: > Buy land appox 1/4 -> 800K > Building appox 900K [depends on the design, and bushman of an engineer you > find] > Proximity: Nairobi -> outskirts > > option2: > Mortgage an apartment worth 4M [your 2M being the down payment] rent it out > @30-40K for the duration of the loan repayment period [you living in your > current abode assuming its 15-20K pm] this should take min. of 5years to > have it repaid but no more than 7yrs interest included.{Where do you get 2M > just like that??} > > In reality option2 will most likely materialize if you are either married > without kids or having a multitude of revenue streams if not a good income, > however its the best. > > I stand to be corrected. >
