internet access shenanigans
by John Gitau 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

fiber cut not withstanding (was that fised by the way?), When I buy 'internet access' (TM) of a specific capacity,It creates the expectation that this service will be unrestricted, enabling me the consumer to access any service lawfully available on the internet. As a result, if this service does not provide FULL access to the internet, I would not expect it to be marketed as internet access. I expect full disclosure on what is bloody slowing down my traffic; and if another service is 'eating' into the capacity for internet access, I expect to be told. Obviously starting the week with a rant on internet speeds will probably not help my mood much. But I think it is time we (consumers) sat down and defined what we expect from a service marketed as a 'internet access'. gitau

Good Piece ... http://the-star.co.ke/business/andrea-bohnstedt/87104-why-its-so-hard-for-s… If headlines, white noise on social media and venture capital competitions are anything to go by, Nairobi’s belly should have burst open by now, Alien-style, and spawned lots and lots of baby ICT enterprises. That hasn’t happened yet. And I am not that surprised. Business Daily picked up this issue in an article on ‘Breaking into Mobile Apps an Uphill Task for Young Developers<http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Breaking+into+mobile+apps+market+an+uphi…>’ this week: ‘Hardly a day passes without a news report that a new mobile application has been developed in Kenya. However, behind this success is the untold story of the challenges that developers face as they seek to break into the market and access funding to develop and market their inventions.’ .....

[SKUNKWORKS] #SupportTeamKenya Flashmob
by Martin Gicheru 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

I attended this flashmob, organized by Multichoice, and if you watch this video and dont get that feel of patriotism ooze in you, I don't know what to tell you. See here http://bit.ly/LTMyZC There was such a good combination, the dancers, the Nairobi street, the confused on-looker, the coming home nameless song and the kenyan flag draped on the dancers. What is your opinion, something that can go viral? -- Regards, Martin Gicheru|Business Development|Techweez Solutions Email ID: martin(a)techweez.com | Tel:254721906171 | Website: http://www.techweez.com | Skype ID: martingicheru | Twitter ID:martingicheru | Gtalk: martin(a)techweez.com
