Home Theatres comparison
by Dennis Kioko 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

So, After more than 6 years of listening to music on my Creative SBS A300s and Logitec/Sennheiser earphones , I think I'm becoming deaf and therefore no longer in a position to appreciate the bass in the Creatives. I would like to replace them with a hometheatre that offers some great sound reproduction in the 50 Hz range upwards. However, I am surprised that most of what I am seeing here ( http://www.jumia.co.ke/home-theatre/) does not offer bluetooth pairing or even DNLA. I thought stuff in this age should even have a mobile app to control the damn thing? Are the Koreans and Japanese running out of steam? -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>

CHEAPEST SHIPPING COMPANY FROM USA TO KENYA
by Ian Kipchirchir Kosgei 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hi Guyz, about this issue I personally opt for African Salihya located in Eastleigh for Freight coz the charge minimum 10kg n rate is $10/kg. No handling fees n other duties. I have some items am expecting this weekend and I already have a clue what I am paying with no hidden charges. If you need a contact of one of their agents situated in Texas see me offline, who you can even chat via WhatsApp for any clarifications. Air is 6days, sea freight is 45days but much cheaper.

Draft National ICT Policy Discussions Day 8 of 10: Emerging Issues ( Big Data, Bitcoin, Internet of Things)
by Barrack Otieno 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Day 8 of 10: * Internet of Things, M2M * Net Neutrality & OTT * Big Data * Virtual Money/BlockChains The Background: Internet of Things is a vision (now a reality) of physical objects (machines, vehicles, buildings, etc) fitted with sensors that allow them to communicate with each other. The smart-city concept envisions sensors continuously reporting status (e.g Traffic status, Pollution Status, Maintenance Status) of the different objects to allow for efficient management response. A lot of data exchanges arises hence the term Big Data with its associated data analytics requirements. Meanwhile, Virtual Money/Currency (Bitcoin, etc) threatens to disrupt the need for a centralised banking institutions. Over The Top (Skype, Twitter, FB, Youtube) have been around longer but the need to regulate or NOT to regulate them continues to be debated. Given recent developments on the KiCTANET list on Virtual money what should our position on these and other emerging issues be from a policy perspective ? is there need to embrace the issues? Your comments are welcome -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254733206359 Skype: barrack.otieno PGP ID: 0x2611D86A

Draft National ICT Policy Discussions Day 6 of 10: How to Accelerate eGovt Services
by Barrack Otieno 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Listers, Many thanks to those who have contributed to day 4 and day 5. The threads are still open provided you respond under the correct thread. We also encourage listers to edit the policy directly on the Jadili platform http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kenya-ict-policy. Today we focus on the following topics: *eHealth, eAgriculture, eTransport, eGovt, eLearning *ICT regional (county) incentives) *ICTs in Society, Culture The Background Government is the single biggest consumers of ICT goods and services. A highly digitised government operation not only improves transparency and accountability but can accelerate ICT opportunities for the local ICT enterprises dealing in software development, system integration, equipment resellers amongst others. What are the bottlenecks around eGovernment? Other than Huduma Centers, KRA and bit of NTSA, there seems to be very little ICTs in other government departments and agencies. What poliices and strategies can unlock the full potential of eGovt? Send in your views Today. -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254733206359 Skype: barrack.otieno PGP ID: 0x2611D86A

Draft National ICT Policy Discussions Day 4 of 10: How to enhance Universal Service & Access
by Barrack Otieno 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Listers, We inadvertently skipped the day 4 discussion since it was to be done over the weekend (Saturday 25 June 2016). As such we will back track so that we can tackle the topics which are very important. Today we focus on the following topics *Universal Access (Infrastructure) *Universal Service (PWD) *Affordable Internet broadband Services *Affordable User Devices *Public e-Literacy The Background Universal service principles are based on the fact that all citizens are entitled to basic communication rights. In other words, the government is obliged to ensure that communication signals reach all Kenyans, irrespective of their income levels, remote localities, lack of (e)literacy and/or disabilities (e.g. the blind/deaf/etc). There was recent access-gap study commissioned by the regulator which confirmed that a large number of Kenyan localities are underserved http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/blogs/dot9/walubengo/-/2274560/3155384/-/l3vdw…. How can we change the situation? Thank you -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254733206359 Skype: barrack.otieno PGP ID: 0x2611D86A

We like to support our own, but we also detest those who feel we do not matter and hence we are on twitter trying to get JTL to rectify or else #JTLExit by skunk customers will take effect. Anyone from JTL here please tell your management that our members are not happy and they better start sorting them out one at a time . Please tweet your concerns with #JTLExit Concerned Captain..

Fwd: Restoring trust in financial services
by Mbugua Njihia 27 Jun '16

Sometimes we complicate things in a bid to increase their perceived value and charge a premium. The financial services sector has effectively used the complexity smoke screen to much success for decades making us shy way from demanding better services and transparency. To restore trust in the sector we need to follow the money in real time - http://www.mbuguanjihia.com/business/restoring-trust-financial-services.html ᐧ ᐧ

Hi listers, I would like to encrypt my dns requests so that my ISP does not "throttle" my connection based on the number of dns connections per sec/min. Has any one successfully used MS dns server forwarding with DNSCRYPT <http://dnscrypt.org> daemon? Or is there a simpler solution that achieves the same Thanks Moses

Re: [Skunkworks] Daily Nation ePaper - Download Script [Linux/OSX]
by Paul Korir 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

I'm not sure I agree... Two reasons: 1. Nation switched their ePaper provider to the current provider. The previous provider (an IT company based in India) was leaky and very many eyeballs got a hold of the PDF version. You could argue that this was part of their strategy. The current provider seems to be more secure implying to me (at least) that security is a factor. 2. Not too long ago they actually stopped providing PDF copies because of copyright infringement. They reinstated it shortly after maybe because of a loud outcry from their subscribers. In fact, immediately after they restored them, PDFs would download with a watermark of your username (your email). They later removed them which makes me suspect that there are invisible watermarks that can inform them which account is leaking their copy then possibly blocking only those accounts (I'm only speculating... I really don't know). Overall, the bigger concern is that we as tech creatives (sources of copy) should appreciate the importance of upholding other's right to copy because we will benefit from such an environment in the long run. Turning a blind eye is not a way to go. I think this is critical.

Fwd: [kictanet] Day 1:-How to Develop ICT infrastructure
by Mwendwa Kivuva 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

*How to Develop ICT infrastructure (Day 1-Wed 22nd June 2016)* *telecoms, broadcast, broadband internet, postal) *Investment incentives (FDI,Equity Shares) *Open Access *Infrastructure Sharing (Masts, Ducts, Wayleave etc) *Spectrum Management *Postal/National Addressing System *Data Centers, IXPs, CDN --- So further to the welcome message below, today, we kick off the discussion with Infrastructure issues in mind. Basically think about what needs to be done to ensure a robust telco/internet, broadcast, postal environment from an infrastructure perspective. The subtopics above being guidelines. Contentious issues have been around foreign direct investments with respect to the policy requirement for local equity shareholding. Should this be mandatory and at what % - keeping in mind that equity share holding requires local investors who may not always be keen in keeping money in ICTs (preferring traditional destinations of Land/Real estate). On Open Access, how far do we want this to go? In mombasa we have the submarine landing points implementing open access where SEACOM, TEAMS, LION, EASSy etc are open to any interested player and this has worked well. Do we want to see this principle practiced domestically in terms of infrastructure sharing (Masts, Fiber Ducts, and even Spectrum?) Finally what role do we see Postal Kenya taking within the ICT ecosystem, particularly with regard to the lack of the National Addressing system - which analysts feel is holding back the ecommerce potential. Lets hear your views today since tomorrow we move onto INFO-structure issues. walu. ------------------------------ *From:* Walubengo J <jwalu(a)yahoo.com> *To:* KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> *Sent:* Wednesday, June 22, 2016 10:25 AM *Subject:* ICT Policy Discussions:-Overview, Thematic Topics (Day 1 to Day 10) Greetings Listers, As promised on monday, we kick off the discussions today and would like to share the general flow and how we shall move.
