I was talking of the number of parked domains/addon domains I can add being unlimited. Would that be the case also. ---------- Sent via Nokia Email ------Original message------ From: Okechukwu <okechukwu(a)gmail.com> To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Date: Monday, September 5, 2011 3:43:48 PM GMT+0300 Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Web hosting My guess would be unlimited sub-domains, no one can give you unlimited domains for whatever you pay for hosting - should be water under the bridge. Never used them though. ./Ok3ch On Mon, Sep 5, 2011 at 3:37 PM, Kennedy Kairaria <kenkairaria(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi skunk(ette)s, > > Has anyone hosted with mambo.co.ke or codelab? > I wanted to know : > 1.When they say that I get unlimited domains do they mean addon > domains or subdomains? > 2.To what level am I granted DNS management/control? > 3.

KDN Doesn't have KES. 400M
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

KDN has been ordered by the High Court to deposit 400M in a suit filed by Soliton-Telmec to pay outstanding dues or be wound up. I hold it here and now that KDN doesn't have this cash. How many firms do you think have this amount in cash to be held indefinitely for the duration of the case? http://www.nation.co.ke/business/news/Deposit+Sh400m+in+court+KDN+told+/-/1… I stand to be corrected, but I can smell the drumbeats of war ... and a major realignment in the offing. My 2 cents. Kiania D -- [Asentric Consulting Ltd] "The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in war." - Navy SEAL INSTRUCTOR

If Nokia Valued The African Consumer, Why Launch Dumb Phones Here?
by Kevin Omondi 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

I really concur with this article by Robert Alai of Techmtaa I hear that 8 Nokia executives were in Nairobi “to listen to African consumer’. They were also here to launch the two phones, Nokia 100/101, which are single and dual-sim respectively. The last time Nokia executives were here was sometime in June 2010<http://techmtaa.com/2010/06/03/nokia-launches-4-budget-phones-and-bicycle-c…> when they ended up even launching an innovation which they stole for some smart young Kenyans. So today the 8 wolves came back and this time they claimed that the “Nokia 101 & X1-01 were conceptualized in Nokia research centre in Nairobi”. So? We are suppose to celebrate for that? They should have been manufactured here then. During the June[image: June reviews]<http://www.blippr.com/music/songs/375081-June> 2010 launch, the 4 low-budget phones unveiled were suppose to be available in this market early enough. Most of the phones just arrived in this market this year or in November[image: November reviews]<http://www.blippr.com/music/songs/458002-November> 2010. And I wonder why Nokia has this mentality that Africans[image: Africans reviews] <http://www.blippr.com/music/songs/374832-Africans> are some primitive, skin covered know-nothings whose best technology can only be some dumb phones which are priced 3 times as expensive as their counterparts from other manufacturers. Who advises Nokia on such? Can’t we see Nokia launch the E or N series phones in Nairobi, Johannesburg, Cairo[image: Cairo reviews] <http://www.blippr.com/music/songs/492734-Cairo> or even Bamako? Are Africans just backward to Nokia? If you heard some of the MCs Nokia had to make look African here<http://ihub.co.ke/downloads/mary_mcdowell_fireside_chat_at_ihub_nairobi.mp3> talk about Africa[image: Africa reviews]<http://www.blippr.com/music/songs/366685-Africa> like it is one country. We can vouch for technology as one continent but Africans are not living in stone age and don’t need any favours from anyone. If Nokia was to take the continent serious, it would address the market problems like offering operator billing like they do in New Zealand, UK and other parts of Europe. Just today, the Daily Telegraph reported<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/mobile-phones/8720668/Operator-billin…> how operator billing has doubled up apps sales in UK. We have cheaper dual-sim phones from the OEM vendors like Tecno, TechCom and Zedd Mobile. Their prices range from Ksh 2,500 to Ksh 4,600 which is cheap compared to the Ksh 3,000 to Ksh 8,000 range for Nokia *Dabo Dabo* phones. The Ksh 4,500 TechCom and Zedd Mobile phones are great and match the Ksh 12,000 Nokia smartphones like X2. Nokia is nowadays selling a name. Nokia is basically the Barclays Bank of mobile phone in Kenya[image: Kenya reviews]<http://www.blippr.com/music/albums/476431-Kenya>. Tecno, TechCom and Zedd Mobile are the Equity to the African consumer. I wont bet on Nokia giving African serious though if not only to dump the 2003 technology into the market. Nothing is innovative on the phones and they are much dangerous to out environment than any others. The technology used to make them is more than a decade old.

I have the Safaricom Huawei E1820 and the Orange ZTE MF192. I bought the Safaricom Huawei at KES 9,999 and the Orange ZTE at KES 3,500. Did I miss the dotted line somewhere, which said these modems are network-locked? Anyone has the unlockers for the two?? I hate to have these operators sc^*£ing my money! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
