What is the best phone/gadget for a Kenyan field Journalist??
by Odhiambo Washington 26 Jul '12

Ok. I am thinking of those nasty situations when a journalist is roughed up because of taking a photo/video of an incident, the camera is confiscated and film destroyed or tape erased by the you-know-who (not that I am scared on naming names, but it can be anyone!) I suppose there are phones and/or apps which when used together can beat the nasty guys to their game. Something like a photo/video is uploaded to the web in realtime as it is being taken. I want such a device and I know you geeks know the answer. Please take your time to think about this before responding with a suggestion. I better people don't respond if they have no clue, please. Thanking you guys in advance. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

@ Kyle, the demand is there. The content is there in as much is doesn't compare to Japan or China. In my organization we are trying to publish services within the EA region but the access experiences are as varied as peers of the ISPs. You always hope the client is using a 'good' ISP. And we are just one company, in a few years it will be many. Why should ISP in EA first peer to Europe or SA for local destinations. -----Original Message----- From: James <ndegwajim(a)yahoo.com> Sender: eanog-bounces(a)orion.my.co.ke Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 17:26:52 To: East Africa Network Operators Group<eanog(a)orion.my.co.ke> Reply-To: East Africa Network Operators Group <eanog(a)orion.my.co.ke> Cc: East Africa Network Operators Group<eanog(a)orion.my.co.ke>; skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke<skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke>; kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke<kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> Subject: Re: [EANOG] The East Africa Internet Exchange Point-- Where are we? _______________________________________________ eanog mailing list eanog(a)orion.my.co.ke http://orion.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/eanog

African Millionaires under 40 - How they made it in Africa
by ndungu stephen 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Despite the catchy 'millionaire' title - this caught my attention about Kenya Tech: ...the country should stop focusing on the success of the M-Pesa mobile money platform. “I don’t see any unique ideas. I have not seen something that can genuinely be the next big thing. I am just not convinced. M-Pesa was invented five years ago, but everywhere you go, every other technology conference, the only thing we talk about is M-Pesa. We must come up with something new.” http://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/africa%E2%80%99s-under-40-millionaires-s…
