Dear Skunks, I have created a web service to manage sessions for a USSD application. What is the process of taking it to production? Precisely, can I acquire a short-code directly from mobile service provider or do i have to get that from a PRSP? Second, if I have to use a PRSP do I have to host the webservice with the or can I host it at my own server? Kindly advise. Kind regards -- * To follow the path: look to the master, follow the master, walk with the master, see through the master, become the master.* *- Zen Poem*

OT - CITY COUNCIL OF NAIROBI WEBSITE

The City Council of Nairobi or the Town Clerk must be a sleeping lot. Their 'official' site http://www.nairobicity.org still recognizes Dick Wathika as the Mayor and John Gakuo as the town clerk. Or do they have another site? Which one is it? Anyone knows? -- KT, M: +254 722 28 98 04 www.mondeas.com “When you are busy making excuses, you are not making money, making friends, or making the world a better place.
