Re: [Skunkworks] Blocking of Domain Names and Legal Frameworks sorrounding the domain name industry..

Listers, Considering the fact that ICT plays a critical role in our present environment, we are likely to see an increase in the number or websites and domain names that will be registered this is likely to bring about a myriad of issues. My concern is we may see an upsurge similar to what happened in the mobile phone industry, the question i have therefore is are we prepared from a legal perspective for possible conflicts that may arise should there be such an upsurge ? are our courts prepared for this kind of cases or shall we resort to out of court settlements, what lessons can we learn from the recent issue between google and mocality as an industry, i know it was easy to point fingers and blame but again is it possible that the staff involved engaged in malpractices our of ignorance which may have been due to the fact that there is no law, or statute for data protection and no clear dispute resolution mechanism , if this were enshrined in the law, it could be to educate the masses on the same. I will appreciate your thoughts.. Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254-20-2498789 Skype: barrack.otieno http://www.otienobarrack.me.ke/

Re: [Skunkworks] Could growth of the Mobile phone industry in Africa be affecting uptake of ccTLDs?
by Barrack Otieno 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Listers, Just wondering aloud, whereas the mobile phone industry is a boon for the African continent, could it be stiffling growth of the domain name industry take an example we have over 10 million mobile phone subscribers, i dont know how many are using online services, there has been rapid growth over the last three years unfortunately the same case does not apply for the domain name industry, with all this apps being developed do we need domains and domain names? within the current scheme of things how can we spur content developement?, i know content can still be accessed using mobile devices but to what extent?, i will appreciate your thoughts on this subject -- Barrack O.

For the WiFi Gurus - High Power AP with Multi-SSID Support
by Odhiambo Washington 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

I am doing a WiFi network in a building with two offices across a think concrete wall. I'd like the two to share just one AP, and I'd like to have a separate SSID for Guests. I am therefore looking for a high power AP that supports multiple SSIDs. By high power, I mean something transmitting in the range of upto 1000mW of output power. Ubiquiti PicoStation M2-HP has this sort of transmit power but not multiple-SSID, althout I see it's possible by manually editing the config file via the CLI. This doesn't look good if this device was to be managed by someone without such detailed knowhow. I am considering also the Linksys E4200 but I cannot find any details about the transmit power. Anyone using the E4200 who can report on the details? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

What would be your best recommendations for a wireless network at a resort in the nature of Vipingo Ridge without digging trenches, installing masts.. Think villas, rooms etc located distances apart, a golf park in between et al. Rgds, Simon
