So today I received a reply from CCK *[chukuahatua(a)cck.go.ke] [Ticket#1015890] *to which I am very grateful for.. After making a complaint about unsolicited SMS for Airtel and your rogue practices where you are forcefully taking money out of customers accounts for services they have not subscribed to. This is an example of the unsolicited SMS that I received from Airtel, to which i still have a copy saved on my phone. "Dear Lucky customer you will now enjoy a 7 day trial of Ziki Tunes and then at 15kshs a month. Song chgs: 5 Ksh/mnth. To deactivate send STOP to 155. For more songs call *155 " "Well I am glad that this has now been clarified by CCK as according to the reply email from CCK, shown below, unsolicited SMS are prohibited by the law, regulations and license conditions. So in effect Airtel are breaking their licencing conditions by sending any such SMS to its millions of customers and engaging in such practices which can only be categorised as blatant theft.I have been instructed by CCK to first make an official complaint directly to Airtel to address this issue to which i am doing right now. If no action is taken regarding engaging in such rogue practices and unsolicited emails still get sent to customers, then this issue will be escalated to the commission for necessary regulatory intervention. Please refer to the email thread below. I look forward to hearing from you. Have a nice day.

It is indeed unfortunate that you receive unsolicited SMS as these are prohibited by the law, regulations and license conditions. However, kindly note that the procedure on complaints requires one to first lodge a complaint with the service provider to enable them have an opportunity to resolve the same. In case you fail to obtain satisfactory resolution within a reasonable period of time, then you may escalate the same to the Commission for necessary regulatory intervention.

For more songs call *155 "**** **** "So i sent stop to 155 and was charged 1bob." **** **** Of which I have not yet received a confirmation to the deactivation of this service, that I did not even ask for in the first place.

"I did not subscribe to this..i don’t even like Ziki tunes or want it".. I just want to be able to make and receive phone calls, plain and simple" looks like airtel just robbed me of 1ksh.

The cost of free: the business model of the internet
by Mbugua Njihia 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

No one wants to pay for information anymore, after all the internet is overflowing with free information that is available to me even on the move on my mobile device. This seems to be the prevailing notion for many who continue to insist that the internet is "free"; but "if you are not paying for something, you are not the consumer; you are the product being sold" and the trade off for this deceptively free access to information is your personal data. - http://www.mbuguanjihia.com/2012/the-cost-of-free-the-business-model-of-the- internet.html

Re: [Skunkworks] (how can ICT contribute towards vision 2030)
by Vee Legrandchef 12 Apr '12

@ Michelle i love your passion for techie...we seem to be left out with developers taking the centre stage with the likes of m-labs n ihubs. Developers are passionate about what they do thus the buzz in their line. These guys are already a step ahead. Ever wondered why some phones take a while (sometimes even a year!) 4 em to reach the african market long after their launch? I see that changing soon....developers working on apps that can run on android, symbian, iOS, etc and little attention being paid on the windows phone OS...... i see that changing soon. World focus is changing to the African untapped market. 4 techies tis about using technology. U gotta love it, to embrace it. You are an IT techie? in your organization, which on which maturity level are you? Maturity levels of local ICT departments of most companies are at level 1 (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/architectsrule/archive/2008/06/12/gartner-it-infras…) with most processes being manual and repetitive. Technology is hardly embraced. We are not yet fully exposed, industrial and operational-wise, to international standards. check this out http://www.mms-2012.com/. i hope we don't to wait for Konza for us to host such events locally. i challenge you to challenge yourself. take yourself and your company or the company you work for to the next maturity level. We need to start positioning ourselves for Konza. Embrace technology. Enhance our skillsets. Get out of our comfort zone. Think outside the box. Think outside our boundaries. Think global. Become an MVP.....Sharpen your skillsets cz one thing's 4 sure; Konza will def need techies. my 2cents.

That said, it is my opinion that our mainstream media is largely obsessed with politics, with a sprinkling of business and tech news here and there. Which means, if your primary source of information is the said mainstream media, your probability of catching the "innovations" will be limited. So how do you get clued in? Personally, I read cio.co.ke everyday, followed by a quick check of ihub events section, then an even quicker followup on the sponsors of those events/competitions. Over time, this had led me to what I would consider interesting ventures being done by Kenyans.

WiFi Billing software
by Gate Keeper 11 Apr '12

Skunks, I need an Internet access billing software. *Scenario.* I have a WI FI hotspot made up of several access points. Clients will be paying for internet access (for given time frame upfront E.g 1 week). The software will generate authentication details. Once the time frame expires the authentication details wont work any more. 1. The software has to be extremely simple to use(*Priority. *I hate late night calls.) 2. Very strong security features(Protect itself from hackers tempering with it, prevent authorised access. 3. Logs- I need to see who logged and when.The more detailed the better. Appreciates more if I can download the Logs in notepad. I need a second software(Preferably web based) which can be used to monitor several WiFi accesspoints. The output is internet speeds, latencies,jitter,bandwidth and uptime. Gate Keeper. * *

Anyone familiar with company law knows that the directors and shareholders of the company can elect at any time to amend the articles and memorandum (within the confines of the Company Act). If TESPOK really wanted KIXP Ltd to be independent they would have taken this action ages ago. Which brings me back to my original point - KIXP Ltd is captive to TESPOK whims. It might be difficult to unentangle the two now that their fortunes have been so closely mixed up. All of KIXPs income is paid into TESPOK accounts, and thereby subject to discretionary use by TESPOK. Is there a governance problem here? I think so... for years the dust has been swept under the carpet, can we grow up and make sure that our institutions, especially those as critical as KIXP have the right structures in place? > > Staff have grown from the initial two with a vibrant internship program > and the Industry Computer Security Incident Response Team (I-CSIRT). > > To the best of my knowledge Safaricom has been very supportive in ensuring > KIXP functions as expected and did participate in a recent study on the > value of KIXP to be shared soon. > > Let us focus on the positive being done by the current players.

Re: [Skunkworks] [kictanet] Even Safaricom these days thinks KIXP is non-existent!
by Brian Munyao Longwe 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

to shed some more light on KIXP background.... *Note: This piece is an excerpt from a paper published by Summit Strategies in 2006 which evaluated the impact of KIXP between 2002-2006* * * *Frontier bursting the local internet space - the case of Brian Longwe, 2006* *One of the things that always puzzled me during the early days of our country’s Internet and while I was network manager for one of our first Internet Service Providers was the incredible delays on delivery of electronic mail to other local providers. After running a number of different diagnostics it became apparent that messages from my network to another local ISPs network – were going out of the country, to Europe, then across the Pacific ocean to the USA, then over to Asia before finding their way to their destination which was in many cases literally across the street!* This was obviously an unacceptable state of affairs and the subject of this inefficient routing of local traffic came up several times in discussions at the East African Internet Association (EAIA) – a group that I was involved in that brought together providers and consumers alike to share knowledge and experiences gained from the information-rich Internet. During these discussions various suggestions were tabled as to how we could deal with this problem, but none of them had the ring of truth to them that gave one the deep certainty that the problem once solved would remain solved. A couple of years later while doing some research over the Internet one day I came across mention of a networking workshop that I had heard about once or twice on the EAIA mailing list. This was the Internet Society’s networking workshop for developing countries which took place annually in the United States of America. What interested me most was that one of the training tracks they offered dealt with infrastructure and had a section specifically on Internet exchanges. I hastened to submit my application and was elated when I was not only accepted but also granted a waiver on the tuition. I then pleaded with my employers at the time, a Christian non-profit service provider to support me by paying for my airfare and living allowance while taking this course. One experience I will never forget was when I went to get my visa from the US embassy. When the visa officer asked me what I was going to do, I told her that I was going to learn how to run Internet networks better. She immediately smiled at me and said* **“If this will help improve the service I get from my current ISP, then you have got to go.”* Little did she know that the knowledge I obtained from this workshop would create the engine and nucleus that drives the Kenyan Internet as we know it today. While on the course I had the opportunity to meet many of the people who played a key role in designing and operating the Internet as we know it today. What struck me the most was how ordinary and passionate about technology they were. Another thing that surprised was learning that several other Kenyan engineers had benefited from the same training in previous years and it made me wonder why they had never brought their knowledge into our frequent attempts and online discussions. But by far the individual who had the most impact on me was one of our instructors, a consulting engineer for Cisco Systems called Barry Raveendran Greene. Barry taught me the fundamentals of Internet Exchange points drawing from his own experience in setting these up in Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong and a number of other Asian states. In simple terms he emphasized both the technical and social interventions that would be needed to make a successful IXP. By the time we were through the course I felt armed with the knowledge and understanding to finally help deal with our local traffic problem. Immediately upon arrival back in Nairobi, I started visiting the ISPs one by one, I set up appointments with their managers and in many cases owners and sat with them face to face to explain that now I had it. Now I knew exactly how we could deal with our local traffic. Shortly after these visits the Kenyan ISP association – TESPOK - was established and one of it’s objectives was to set up an Internet exchange point. We had several meetings during which I shared my recently acquired knowledge on the technical approach to set up the exchange. I also contacted Barry Greene to request assistance with our planning. I was overjoyed when he offered to obtain a donation of equipment from Cisco for the core of the IXP so that we wouldn’t have too much of a financial burden to get it going. Barry subsequently came to Kenya and helped us with the hands-on set-up and configuration of the first four ISPs that connected to the KIXP. There were many other details that went into operationalising the KIXP, I can’t cover all of them here but will highlight how it was named. At first I really wanted to call it KIX but I was informed by Bill Manning of EP.NET<http://www.linkedin.com/pub/bill-manning/2/b58/469> – the list of global exchange points that the name was already being used by the Korean Internet Exchange, I then thought about KENYAIX – but found that too long. Eventually KIXP came to mind and I liked it so much that I pleaded with Bill to allow us to use it and immediately registered KIXP.NET. It fills me with joy to see that today, this dream that I carried in my heart is not only running very efficiently without my involvement (I handed over the operational responsibility three years ago) but has become the epicentre of Kenya’s internet with such organizations as the Kenya Revenue Authority referring to KIXP as a “strategic resource”. Today KIXP is keeping millions of packets of Kenyan data local and saving hundreds of thousands of shillings which would otherwise have been spent on carrying these packets over international links.

Just a thought ..can we have IT journalists sending to their "news coverage" on products , services and maybe go through a Skunk editor who will moderate articles and have some proof read and more so protect their content from being stolen...am sure there some journalists who would pay for a good article and hopefully not copy paste (read plagiarize ) the content ... i would be more than happy to contribute my small (fan stories) and maybe one day a Skunk magazine ... -- GG

If we could generate enough interest in the use and development of Linux at an early stage, then we could nature adequate talent(individual developers) required to draw interest from research and development investors like IBM and Intel in Kenya. Microsoft as you might have read is now an active contributor to the development of the Linux Kernel.

RIAA wins big in LimeWire lawsuit
by Kevin Omondi 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

The War on Copyright infringement continues.....RIAA wins big in LimeWire lawsuit U.S. District court judge rules for summary judgment, finding the company behind the file-sharing program and founder Mark Gorton liable for copyright infringement. [image: Greg Sandoval] <http://www.cnet.com/profile/sandonet/> by Greg Sandoval <http://www.cnet.com/profile/sandonet/> May 12, 2010 11:09 AM PDT In a decision that could mean sweeping changes to file sharing in the United States, a federal court has found the company that operates file-sharing service LimeWire <http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-10164095-12.html> liable for copyright infringement, according to court records reviewed by CNET. (Credit: Greg Sandoval/CNET) U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood, for the Southern District of New York, on Tuesday granted summary judgment in favor of the music industry's claims that Lime Group, parent of LimeWire software maker Lime Wire, and founder Mark Gorton committed copyright infringement, engaged in unfair competition, and induced copyright infringement. "The evidence demonstrates that [Lime Wire] optimized LimeWire's features to ensure that users can download digital recordings, the majority of which are protected by copyright," Wood said in her 59-page decision. "And that [Lime Wire] assisted users in committing infringement." The court decision could represent the biggest threat to online file sharing in years. According to a survey by the NPD Group, LimeWire users<http://news.cnet.com/8301-13526_3-9760235-27.html>account for 58 percent of the people who said they downloaded music from a peer-to-peer service last year. At CNET's Download.com, the LimeWire software<http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=limewire&searchtype=downloa…> has been downloaded more than 200 million times. In the last week along, the software was downloaded nearly 340,000 times. Wood's ruling could at the very least mean a shift in the downloading habits of millions. The logical next step by the Recording Industry Association of America, the trade group representing the four largest recording companies, is to get a preliminary injunction and force Lime Wire to cease LimeWire's file-sharing functionality. LimeWire responded predictably with strong opposition to the judge's decision and said it looks forward to a scheduled June 1 status conference with Wood. "LimeWire remains committed to developing innovative products and services for the end-user and to working with the entire music industry, including the major labels, to achieve this mission," it said in a statement. What may spell serious trouble for creators of music and video Web sites in the future is Wood's decision to hold Gorton personally liable. If the ruling stands, it could set a precedent that might dissuade other entrepreneurs from challenging the entertainment sector's copyrights when developing new technology. The RIAA has said it is entitled to the maximum statutory damages, which is $150,000 for each registered work that was infringed. The number of infringing works they could try to claim is likely in the millions. The RIAA first filed suit against Lime Group in August 2006 and a month later the company filed a countersuit<http://news.cnet.com/Lime-Wire%2C-squeezed%2C-files-countersuit/2100-1030_3…>, claiming the top labels engaged in unfair business practices designed to scare away Lime Wire's users.

BES and BIS
by Gate Keeper 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Skunks, Since from the start of this year safcom have changed several of their operation procedures. here are the few I have noticed:- 1. For corporates having a clean record, they were allowed to receive products on delivery of cheques.Now you must wait for at least four working days(Sometimes six) for the cheque to mature and be confirmed by their finance department. 2. Bonga points- They increased the charges for redeeming the bonga points. 3. Black berry (BES/BIS) services- To activate a BIS service was free. Currently you must have a BES service to use BIS service. BES costs Kshs. 1499 every month. 4. Mpesa charges- The PRICE RATES ..... 5.

Write a complete java program that makes use of class called employee that will be used to capture employee id, name, salary and allowance and compute gross salary. Overload the plus operator such that if employee1 and employee2 were objects of the type employee, the employee1 and employee2 will be legal and would add the basic salary allowances and gross salary of the 2 employees. Also overloaded the equality operator such that it can be used in the main method to check if 2 employees have the same numeration based on the gross salary 2. Write a function called ‘divide’ that accepts two integers and computes and returns the first integer divided by the second e.g 5/2 gives 2.5. the program should generate an error if the second integer is zero.

GoTV Rant
by Brian L 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

First: The fall of smart tv Second: Price increment on GoTV subscription Third: Still no sign of a new GoTV package for Kenya This is not how we shall grow our terrestrial Digital TV migration. While I rant is there an increment of the subscription on DSTV packages? I hope what Wananchi are lobbying for will go through, that the monopoly ceases. -- Lusiola Brian |3 R 1 /-\ |\|

Problem with Single sign on: Joomla and Sharepoint
by Tech List Kenya 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hi Guys, Any ideas? Trying to do single sign-on between a joomla and a sharepoint portal. 1. We have successful logins with out-of-the-box joomla 2. But when I put registered on the articles and menus (for controlled access), the login doesnt work 3. From joomla side, we use idemauth component 4. From sharepoint, they use siteminder Am thinking PHP doesnt put any data into $_POST or $_REQUEST Error log for simplesamlphp Mar 22 07:06:51 simplesamlphp ERROR [21e77ad7d3] SimpleSAML_Error_Exception: Error 2 - file_exists() [<a href='function.file-exists'>function.file-exists</a>]: open_basedir restriction in effect.

Good people, I just came across this stash http://www.uonbi.ac.ke/faculties/postgrad-student-projects.php?fac_code=52, found some of them rather interesting. It has been my perception that most of the projects done in Universities are not reflective of the day to day problems experienced by people and organizations, and that few, if any, solve the problems currently facing the country. I hope to be proven wrong.

If you love music and services lik Spotify have been out of your reach because you live in (rest of the world), now there is MOG. Offering more than 14 million tracks, and free with advertisements or a paid premium service, they seem to have a collection that can compete with even iTunes or Spotify. You can listen on the web, desktop, iPod, iPhone and they even have released an iPad App before Spotify. Additionally, you can listen on Sonos, Roku and select LG televisions.

Help i have just been robbed
by Vincent Wayodi 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

So today I received yet another annoying text message from Airtel. But this one was different. "Things in Airtel HQ must be getting bad and it seems that the have resorted to stealing from its customers in broad daylight at any cost " "Dear Lucky customer you will now enjoy a 7 day trial of Ziki Tunes and then at 15kshs a month. Song chgs: 5 Ksh/mnth. To deactivate send STOP to 155. For more songs call *155 " "So i sent stop to 155 and was charged 1bob." Of which I have not yet received a confirmation to the deactivation of this service, that I did not even ask for in the first place. If i send another text i will loose another 1 bob..If i do nothing i will loose 15 ksh , unless i call those guys at customer care, but i did not ask for this in the first place. Is this even legal?.. "I did not subscribe to this..i don’t even like Ziki tunes or want it".. I just want to be able to make and receive phone calls, plain and simple" looks like airtel just robbed me of 1ksh. My question is that do we have a framework either through CCK or any other government regulatory bodies to deal with such rogue telecom companies practices.. Thanks vincent

Importing *.eml files into a PST
by Simon Mbuthia 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

Hi guys, Someone has been using Outlook Express for their emails since 2007 and it has come to a point where the Inbox.dbx file is corrupted. I tried importing emails from Outlook Express into Office Outlook but all messages received between sometime in 2009 and the day before yesterday were missing from his inbox. So I have decided to try repairing his dbx and retrieve all messages as *.eml files. The trick now is importing the files into his Office Outlook. Dragging them into the inbox isn't working (they get attached to a blank message). Any way out of this scenario? Google gives me links to trial software for converting dbx to pst and what-not, but I think this can be done without installing shareware. Saidia tafadhali Me

Deadline approaching verisign Internet Infrastructure Grant program
by Alice Munyua 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Application deadline for this grant program is April 5, 2012. Best Alice ----------------------------- http://verisigninc.com/en_US/news-events/global-events/internet-infrastruct… Internet Infrastructure Grant program Without vision, hard work and creativity, the Internet would not have evolved into the global resource we know and use today. More than 25 years ago the first-ever .com was registered and has since altered the course of history to put the world at our fingertips. The Internet has changed the very fabric of how we interact, inform, conduct business, donate, educate, communicate, connect, and share stories with others across the country, continent, and all over the world. The Verisign infrastructure grant program, launched during the 2010 "25 Years of .com" commemoration, reflects Verisign's commitment to sponsoring research that supports the Internet's robust growth and development. Verisign is expanding this program in 2012 to foster new research which advances security and stability, encourages Internet deployment, and improves the Internet infrastructure overall. Award Application <javascript:;>Past Events <javascript:;>2011 Grants <javascript:;>History <javascript:;> Verisign is pleased to declare that it will announce two $200,000 research awards on May 2012 to support research that has the potential to improve the availability and security of Internet access in all parts of the world. We are seeking proposals for research topics focused on an Internet that is available and secure in all countries, supporting a range of infrastructures, given the reality that people and organizations are relying to a growing extent on mobile devices of all kinds for their connectivity. The research funding is intended to support two graduate students or equivalent for one year, plus institutional overhead. Applications <http://verisigninc.com/en_US/news-events/global-events/internet-infrastruct…> will be accepted from teams composed of researchers from accredited academic institutions, industry research labs, non-profit organizations, for-profit corporations, and governmental agencies. Applications from teams representing institutions in multiple countries are encouraged. All research outputs will be required to be released to the public domain for free and unrestricted use. Applications will be evaluated against the following criteria: * *Relevance:* The applicant(s) should propose research that supports the stated goal of the program, with a specific focus on global accessibility and/or infrastructural improvements that will benefit the developing world. * *Innovation:* The applicant(s) should propose research that is innovative, novel and important. Applications will be judged based on the innovative nature of their proposed research foci and goals. * *Feasibility:* The applicant(s) should demonstrate that their proposed research plan is feasible and can be fully realized within the timeframe (May 2012 -- fall 2013) allowed by the program. * *Overall Quality:* Judges are asked to provide their overall impressions of the grant proposals, encompassing all of the aforementioned criteria, as well as any other criteria deemed relevant based on their knowledge and experience in the field. Applications <http://verisigninc.com/en_US/news-events/global-events/internet-infrastruct…> will be due by April 5, 2012 and award decisions will be announced May 2012. The grants are intended to support research performed during the 2012-13 academic year. Awardees will present their results at a symposium in Washington, DC in fall 2013. Key Dates: *January 17, 2012:* Research Grant Submission Process Open *April 5, 2012:* Research Grant Submissions Due *May 2012:* Announce Research Awards *May 22, 2013:* Research Due *Fall 2013:* Research Presented at DC Symposium --

people ,lets understand what we are talking about first. a 2mbps link at 7k are u 4 real.theres' nothing like that people. Teams and seacom sell a 1meg link at around 300 usd,who would sell cheaper if they boought at that price,it doesnt make business sense people. when we say 2mbps ,it means either dedicated or contented and technically it might not even be dedicatd bt lets assume it is,which i doubt because of the pricing.......its a shared link,link cant even tell your IP if your are on a shared link simply because its a pool. The problem we have,is that we want cheap stuff ,we expect wat guys in the west get for the same amount of money,be4 we consider the circumstances. we have invested sparingly into our infrastructure,but we still expect services like in the west. 4 those who have been to any western nation,u realise in canada for example they can push upto 100mbps on a home link,folks,dont expect that from kenya right now, those who have been to britain,sky tv offers very affordable entertainment if you were to compare them and dstv the latter is more expensive,but sky has superior content. Lets galvanise to develop our country be4 we expect too much from this country,ask not what the country can do for you,but wat you can do for the country.......selah.....

Buying a mouse or earphones

Which is the best place around our capital to buy genuine mice and earphones. And not the "HP" and "Dell" made at Shenzhen Warehouse Industries and packaged in a brown carton. Ebrahims have some lightwaves, but I feel they have factored in the price twice . Sent from my BlackBerry®

Re: [Skunkworks] Telkom: Let the fundraising begin
by Moses Muya 22 Mar '12

Funny how things turn out! It's difficult to imagine Safaricom used to be a 'department' at Telkom and now the latter is not even the second but a distant third MNO in terms of subscribers and revenue! If a business venture does not make profits,the most reasonable thing to do is to end its operations and not to pour in more money hoping that the tides will turn!

Jailbreaking an iPhone and getting it to work
by Odhiambo Washington 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Helloz, A colleague bought an iPhone 4, 16GiB which we are almost turning into a paperweight, bar for advise on a less tricky way to get it working. I know I could google, but I am banking on the experienced resources available on this list- Hello Ok3ch! Now, this paperwight-to-be came with firmware 4.3.3 and was locked to AT&T network. My colleague got it Jail-broken (untethered Jailbreak I hear) and it was working. One day the guy decided that he doesn't want to use iPhone anymore so decided to pass it across to missus, but before this he decided to wipe the damn thing by resetting to factory default! He connected it to iTunes, which then updated the device to firmware 5.0.1. It rendered the phone err..errr. okay, not quite useless but it ceased to work as a phone. Now, another creative colleague is trying to get the phone working. He has jailbroken it again, but now when we put in a SIM Card, the phone does not "see" the network - No Service, that is. And no, it's not in Aircraft mode. Is there a way to get the device to run as a phone or is it that state where it should be used as a camera and iPod only?
