Orange has announced that it is firmly on course to retain its position as the leader in the data market, with the launch of its new 21Mbps network. Telkom Kenya CEO Mickael Ghossein said the new best-in-class network, with speeds of up to 21Mbps, will make it possible for mobile and computer-based users to derive maximum data values from Orange. For the discerning mobile user, Orange has unveiled another first for Kenya by introducing a range of HD Voice devices that would be readily available in all its stores countrywide. HD Voice capability enables customers to experience high definition voice calls, only available through Orange. As the true integrated operator, Orange has also unveiled a range of high speed internet devices for use across all consumer segments and announced a new data tariff structure that will see customers browse the net for as low as 0.40 cts per MB to a maximum of Kshs 4 per MB, for Pay as You Go service. In line with its simplicity proposition, the CEO also confirmed that these rates would be applicable across all its internet platforms. Another first for the market was the launch of a 3G shared broadband Wi-Fi router - Business Broadband which enables 6-10 users to connect to the internet at the same time, via a plug and play device. The Business Broadband becomes the first available wireless router in the market that is compatible to both GSM and CDMA networks and works on both Windows and Mac based operating systems. Orange, which currently has the highest number of wireless broadband subscribers, unveiled its new Internet Everywhere modem that offers speeds of upto 21Mbps that will retail at a most affordable price of Kshs 6,999/-. Customers will also have the ability to manage and control internet abuse through the newly launched parental control software that can be downloaded free of charge from the Orange portal. Ends.../

Andrew You can also use a network enabled PDU. When a server become inaccessible, you ssh to the PDU and disconnect power from the server momentally. Work well with any server model. You need good record keeping else, you may power cycle the wrong server The other alternative is KVM, but they are messy as.

Browsing teh internet using google+ servers
by kipropest 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

So today HNN had this news http://www.thehackernews.com/2011/08/ddos-attack-using-google-plus-servers.… some bad guys using google plus servers to DDOS sites, which led to this script http://pastebin.com/2uRGm9jY showing two urls that were vulnerable. plus.google.com/_/sharebox/linkpreview/?c= and images2-focus-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?url= They work by the way, you can request anything using google bandwith from those urls. So I thought can I use this for good? ;) I surf the internet behind a proxy server and sometimes it block some urls that I want to view. Now, I wont say that all the urls that are blocked are nice sites but.... How can I make my browser fetch content from those URL, I was thinking CGI scripts maybe, I am not sure, Any directions. sad thing is google will probably fix that bug in the hour.

Guys, It's official!! I am just waiting for the "price wars" now.. Tihihiiii.. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Angela Nganga- Mumo <anganga(a)orange-tkl.co.ke> Date: Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 20:09 Subject: [kictanet] ORANGE FLEXES ITS MIGHT WITH THE LAUNCH OF 21Mbps NETWORK To: odhiambo(a)gmail.com Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> Hello Listers, Orange flexes its might in data with the launch of 21 Mbps * Most versatile 3G - 21Mbps network in Kenya- the second of its kind in Africa * Open commercially in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu * Network upgrade costs Orange Kshs. 4 billion * Orange unveils range of affordable and sustainable data solutions Nairobi, August 25, 2011... Orange has announced that it is firmly on course to retain its position as the leader in the data market, with the launch of its new 21Mbps network. Telkom Kenya CEO Mickael Ghossein said the new best-in-class network, with speeds of up to 21Mbps, will make it possible for mobile and computer-based users to derive maximum data values from Orange. For the discerning mobile user, Orange has unveiled another first for Kenya by introducing a range of HD Voice devices that would be readily available in all its stores countrywide. HD Voice capability enables customers to experience high definition voice calls, only available through Orange. As the true integrated operator, Orange has also unveiled a range of high speed internet devices for use across all consumer segments and announced a new data tariff structure that will see customers browse the net for as low as 0.40 cts per MB to a maximum of Kshs 4 per MB, for Pay as You Go service. In line with its simplicity proposition, the CEO also confirmed that these rates would be applicable across all its internet platforms. Another first for the market was the launch of a 3G shared broadband Wi-Fi router - Business Broadband which enables 6-10 users to connect to the internet at the same time, via a plug and play device. The Business Broadband becomes the first available wireless router in the market that is compatible to both GSM and CDMA networks and works on both Windows and Mac based operating systems. Orange, which currently has the highest number of wireless broadband subscribers, unveiled its new Internet Everywhere modem that offers speeds of upto 21Mbps that will retail at a most affordable price of Kshs 6,999/-. Customers will also have the ability to manage and control internet abuse through the newly launched parental control software that can be downloaded free of charge from the Orange portal.

With this<http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate+News/Investor+takes+Nairobi+ho…>I suggest that those of you that are aspiring to become ISPs can begin immediately. Minimum infrastructure costs, high density of users and room to grow.
