> Cck publishes this data quarterly here: > http://www.cck.go.ke/resc/statcs.html > Ah, thanks a lot. Nice read. I actually did not know that other than Safaricom, the other three carriers actually have almost equal number of subscribers. Quote: Mobile data/Internet subscriptions continued to dominate the Internet market contributing 98.9 percent of the total Internet/data subscriptions. The number of estimated Internet users rose by 18.5 to stand at 14.032 million users during the quarter under review. . The annual growth in the estimated number of Internet users was recorded as 11.9 percent from 12.5 million users recorded in the previous year. Broadband2 subscriptions increased by 11.5 percent from 651,738 recorded in the previous quarter to 726,802 recorded during the quarter under review. Broadband subscriptions represented 9.4 percent of the total Internet/data subscriptions. End Quote: Questions Any way to tell the quantity in GB or similar that Mobile data carried verses other medium like satellite? I mean, its possible 98% of the subscription were mobile data but they could be carrying a lower % of data because the subscribers of the other medium are more data hungry or other medium is cheaper per GB or vise versa. I could not infer that from this report. Did I misread something? Why does the fibre capacity change quarterly? The same number of fibre links that were in the sea should be the same this quarter, correct?

Cameras-in-vehicle

I have seen some Ads in the newspapers by some enterprising Kenyans who say they can wire your car in a such a way that you can be able to watch/view at any point in time what is happening in the car - for example where the driver is headed or doing with the car. I did not record their contacts, unfortunately, and I am looking for those folks to wire a car for me. If you have their contacts, please share it. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

skunkworks list down
by Odhiambo Washington 27 Oct '12

27 Oct '12

Hi Phares, List is down for two days now. Host lists.my.co.ke is reachable by ping However a connection to SMTP port seems to go through a firewall, so no answer is being seen. I am not sure SMTP engine is running, from my test. Web UI to the list is not loading. Hmm... looks like server is frozen! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

Hi Skunks, How can I find the network coverage of these three operators. Also does YU have national roaming agreements? Would it work in areas where only safcom has coverage and not YU networks? Asante! - BH
