How about we create an online betting game? Start small first...
by aki 24 May '10

24 May '10

Its a monday and the sun's out. :-)))) Online betting game that works as follows : Each week we predict the reliability ratios of Telcom Companies on a weekly basis. Eg Week 25th to 31st May. Then we decide on the chance ratios and earnings/losses. So during your downtime with your choosen Telco, you have a chance to win some money. An pure example, not picking on anyone specific: For the week 25th to 31st May, we predict that Queen Bee will be down at least once, whether voice, data or money transfers. The ration on this is 10:1 . Meaning if you put in 100/- Kshs and are confident that their services will go down and if this really is the case, you could win Ksh 1,000/- at the end of the week. If not, you loose the ksh 100. Sorry, the system will not take large bets. Same goes for other providers and services. We can even include slow speeds that have different betting ratios. Ofcourse we would need to develop a monitoring system. Can it be done? Lets innovate and make some money. me thots. -- www.projectskenya.info

OT : We no longer have characters like those in the old Bond movies. The millionaries are becoming so boring or going green?
by aki 24 May '10

24 May '10

Nation has this story : Kenyan ranch in the spotlight as widow seeks Sh900bn inheritance. ( http://www.nation.co.ke/News/Kenyan%20ranch%20in%20the%20spotlight%20as%20w… ) Back in those early days, I'd get a gig to design a sound system here or there or do matv distribution for odd weekend jobs and sometimes it landed me, through references, a few really nice short gigs. I rememeber this ranch. Nation left out the private Lockheed L-1011 tristar plane that was fitted as a personal jet. And cheetah cubs were like pets. Got to see my first tiger at that time. lol! :-))) But what I remember most is the other name in the Nation Article. Some guy called Khashoggi and company who owned Ol-Pejeta. This place had its own 747-length landing/takeoff airstrip though I never saw it used the very brief time I was there. Rumor had it that our KE Airforce which is nearby had warned no craft to breach its zone but I guess when you have a flying office and know the powers to be, there can always be an exception. :-)))) We had some characters in our own backyard. Those days it was about showing financial might, the biggest spenders and making your name on Time Magazine Cover page. If you have ever watched the old bond movies like moonraker and the rest, you'd understand. Nowadays, millionaries are thinking about saving energy and the world through INNOVATION and the rest. Such a bore. :-)))) Post soon. -- www.projectskenya.info

MacBook Pro 13' 2009 - Startup Problem-Mac HD Not Detected
by Isaak Mogetutu 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hi! My MacBook (Intel, 15 months old), froze while I was using it and then I had to forcibly shut it down by holding down the Power button. After that it just didn't start up. A flickering Question mark was all I was met with. I could not run the Apple Hardware Test with the Snow Leopard installation The AHT results tell me that there is no problem with the MacBook's hardware and I should check the software. But the profile doesn't list the Macintosh HD at all. And neither does the Startup Disk. I welcome suggestions to overcome my problem, considering the fact that Techtool Pro reported that there was no problem with the Mac HD after an intensive scan which included a surface scan. And I didn't drop the notebook either. -- Regards Isaak Mogetutu Twitter: twitter.com/mogetutu Skype: mogetutu

Logwatch configuration

21 May '10

Hi guys, More problems here. I have edited the alias file and assigned an email address to root, ran newaliases, but still logwatch is sending emails to report(a)localhost.localdomain - where localhost.localdomain is the FQDN of the box. I have not specified such an address anywhere. I have also set the SMART_HOST on sendmail.mc to my mail server [and it's working OK] and ran make -C /etc/mail and restarted the sendmail service [yes, I'm running sendmail as my default MTA]. What am I not doing right? Me.

In the Mix
by Mbugua Njihia 21 May '10

21 May '10

Kiania.. Sembuse was shot down at safcom coz it "will cannibalize sms revenues"..their gravy train Kiania sez " For all the flack Safcom gets on this list we have to give them marks for innovation and forethought. In today's newspaper they have launched Mixit (http://www.mxitlifestyle.com/) is a Peer-to-Peer IM client that runs on mobile-to-mobile and desktop-to-mobile. While some see this as cannibalizing SMS revenues, it's a stroke of genius because they still stand to make cash from the data traffic as opposed to loosing it to a competitor all together. (Rule No. 4 in business: Cannibalize your revenue and business model before your competition does it for you) After declining to support Mixit as a product, MTN SA now looses more than 8M Rand (KES 80M) a day, and the sad part, the app runs on their platform on either gprs/edge.

Orange 3G+ : Almost 3000 Mbytes disappears from my data account
by aki 20 May '10

20 May '10

Am sharing this, incase you are also affected by this mysterious disease. :- ( Right until saturday, my account had almost 3000 Mbytes available as I usually top up an about 4-6GB per month. I travelled and got back today morning only to log on and be forwarded to the top-up portal that my account contains ZERO Mbytes. Now, no one has access to my modem or account information. I looked at the portal for details and the data log-on shows data usage at odd hours of the night, yet no one could have used it as the only other who can have used it was travelling with me on the trip. I called them today and they will investigate the matter and let me . Hahaha...! It's like a nightmare coming back. I recall many years ago the scams TKL staff used to run on International Calls. You would get billed for these calls yet you would have to prove to them that you never made such calls. Who the heck did I know in eastern europe, middle east etc? Then every month your line would be disconnected and you would send a protest letter and they would reinstate the service. This got resolved after almost 2 years of going back and forth with regional managers and the rest though never read of any arrests made but assume the offenses were covered up with the was it the 2001 or 2002 corruption forgiveness act? I cannot believe that such things are coming back. So now I'll have to prove that I did not use the data services because obviously the system shows the data moving? You know what Orange/TKL, you can stuff the mbytes up yours! Right now I could be least bothered about resolving such petty issues. So far Orange has delivered on services, it would be a disaster if their behaviour would be pushing us to move to other telcos. A patient but disappointed/irate Orange fan. Lets see if they resolve it during this week. Purely my personal views.

FTC to Look Into Copy Machine Privacy Breakdown
by Brian Munyao Longwe 20 May '10

20 May '10

http://www.technewsworld.com/edpick/70029.html?wlc=1274300647 FTC to Look Into Copy Machine Privacy Breakdown Print Version<http://www.technewsworld.com/edpick/70029.html?wlc=1274300647#> E-Mail Article <http://www.technewsworld.com/perl/mailit/?id=70029> Reprints <http://www.ectnews.com/about/reprints.xhtml> [image: FTC to Look Into Copy Machine Privacy Breakdown] By Brian T. Horowitz TechNewsWorld 05/19/10 11:15 AM PT Add digital copiers to your list of things to be afraid of. Turns out most of the machines built since 2002 have copies of every image they scanned stored on their hard drives -- and when those machines change hands, they're seldom wiped clean. The FTC has taken steps to inform manufacturers, resellers and office supply stores about the risks, but what is the agency really empowered to do? he Federal Trade Commission <http://www.ftc.gov/> has responded<http://markey.house.gov/docs/markeyftc.pdf> to an April 29 letter from Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., expressing concerns about sensitive data stored on digital copiers' hard drives. Markey's letter followed CBS News' April 19 airing of a report<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC38D5am7go> on its investigation into the matter. The FTC said it was aware of the privacy issues and planned to take steps to inform manufacturers, resellers and office supply stores about the risks associated with digital copying and see that they were taking steps to provide options for secure copying. "We will work with these entities to help ensure that they provide appropriate educational materials on this subject to their clients," wrote FTC chairman Jon Leibowitz. He also directed Markey to educational materials the FTC previously distributed<http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/idtheft/bus54.shtm> on disposing of computer hard drives. "We are also reaching out to government contracting officials to advise them of the risks associated with the use of digital copiers and ensure that the government is taking measures to protect the information we collect from the public," Leibowitz continued. The FTC routinely erases and destroys hard drives when it returns copiers, the chairman said. Leased Copiers Returned The copier industry has failed to inform the public of the privacy risks of using digital copiers, Ed McLaughlin, president of Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America <http://www.sharpusa.com/>, admitted in the CBS News report. During its investigation, CBS found a machine used by a police sex crimes division in Buffalo, N.Y., with information on criminal suspects and domestic violence complaints. It also found pay stubs with Social Security numbers and medical records from insurer Affinity Health Plan<https://www.affinityplan.org/>, including names and physician diagnoses. Companies such as Xerox <http://www.xerox.com/> (NYSE: XRX) supply overwrite tools for hard drives, but the public may not have the knowledge to use them. Copiers are leased for fixed periods and then shipped around the world with sensitive data remaining on their hard drives, noted Markey in his letter<http://markey.house.gov/docs/ftccopier_security4-29-10.pdf> to FTC Chairman Leibowitz. "I am concerned that these hard drives represent a treasure trove for thieves," he wrote, "leaving unwitting consumers vulnerable to identity theft as their Social Security numbers, birth certificates, medical records, bank records and other personal information are exposed to individuals who could easily extract the data from the digital copiers' hard drives and use it for criminal purposes." Business and government agencies need to take steps to erase the data before returning the machine or disposing of it, Markey cautioned. The FTC and Rep. Markey's office did not return TechNewsWorld's calls requesting comment. It shouldn't be difficult to apply the same methods of destroying computer data to the data on digital copiers' hard drives, Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group <http://www.enderlegroup.com/>, told TechNewsWorld, but this is not something people have thought about. "A lot of these things could be sitting in landfills and repurposed," he said. "This shouldn't have been news," Enderle continued. "Something was overlooked, because they're not sold as storage devices -- they're sold as copy machines." Educating the Public The FTC will likely set in place automatic purge rules for digital copiers, said Enderle. After a copying, scanning, or printing job is complete, the files would have to be deleted. "With the security [image: FireHost - Affordable Secure Web Hosting for Every Company. Learn more.]<http://www.technewsworld.com/edpick/70029.html?wlc=1274300647> infrastructure aware of the problem, there will be efforts to encrypt data," he added, noting that existing methods for disposing of PC and server data will be extended to copier information. "It shouldn't be particularly hard to use the same processes and rules. I don't see the fixes as particularly onerous," Enderle said. Yet there is doubt as to whether the FTC's efforts will be fruitful. "To me it's going to be a fair amount of waste of time," said Ira Winkler, author of *Spies Among Us* and president of the Internet Security Advisors Group <http://www.isag.com/>, who appeared in the CBS News report that shed light on this problem. "What can the FTC actually do? The FTC has no control over the Buffalo Police. I don't think the FTC has responsibility for medical records," Winkler told TechNewsWorld. "They can write a report and tell Congress we need to pass this [information] along. I mean, this is decades late," he said. "They're going to spend lots and lots of money on something that's glaringly obvious. This is like saying drunk drivers theoretically can kill people. What type of study do you really need done?" Winkler asked. A Major Oversight "We have a surprisingly large exposure here," Enderle said. Digital copiers' hard drives could hold personal medical or banking records, conviction histories or lists of crime suspects. "There are a whole series of regulations that may now come into play as folks look at what appears to be an improper use of information," added Enderle. "There could be some serious problems." Disclosure and accountability laws such as Sarbanes Oxley could come into play, he pointed out. National Security Problem? Imagine the scenario of a digital copier being leased at one time by a U.S. Embassy and then ending up in the office of another country's embassy while still retaining sensitive data on the hard drive, Enderle suggested. "This is just one more example that printing confidential information is a very dangerous practice," he emphasized, noting that the data could be scanned and emailed to a million people. "I'd like to assume it's not related to national security, but it probably was," Winkler said. "But the FTC has no control over federal agencies, so what difference does it make?" CBS News reported that digital copiers dating back to 2002 store data. So think twice the next time you head to the copy machine. You don't really know for whom you're copying those tax forms, medical records and corporate files. -- Brian Munyao Longwe e-mail: blongwe(a)gmail.com cell: + 254 722 518 744 blog : http://zinjlog.blogspot.com meta-blog: http://mashilingi.blogspot.com

Is the Difference between "and" & "or" significant?
by Claire Njoki 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hello, Someone forwarded me the following email and I was wondering...Is the Difference between "and" & "or" significant? I ask this here since I believe a good number of you are coders... Message shown below: >>> ** MORE CHANGES (AND ERRORS) FOUND IN PUBLISHED CONSTITUTION!!! ** Dear Kenyans, The events of the last few days got me a bit concerned when I realised that there were two (or more) proposed constitutions in circulation and we do not even know which version we will be voting for or voting against. Today, I decided to compare the draft passed by parliament to the one published by Wako on 6th May 2010. Keep in mind that the review organs had indicated that Wako was not supposed to change anything. The same review organs indicated that those who wanted changes made to the draft (especially with respect to abortion and khadhis courts) were too late and parliament could also not make any changes unless the change was supported by at least 145 members of parliament. The same organs, also confirmed that Wako had only changed a few commas and fullstops here and there. The same review organs have defended the draft published on 6th and confirmed that it is the only authentic draft. With all this in mind, I can confidently prove to Kenyans that we are being take for a ride because after comparing the two drafts, I have noted 6 (six) changes that were made by Wako. Some of these changes render the current published draft illegal since it means Wako, or someone else made these changes. I am not a lawyer, but I know that e.g. replacing the word "and" with the word "or" changes the meaning of everything. If you want to confirm or deny my findings, please compare both documents, i.e. the draft passed by parliament, versus the one published by Wako on 6th May. These 6 (six) changes are as indicated below: God Bless Kenya. Concerned Kenyan. -------------------------------------------- Political rights -The Proposed Draft Published by Wako on 6th May 2010 says: 38 (2) Every citizen has the right to free, fair and regular elections based on universal suffrage and the free expression of the will of the electors for— (a) any elective public body or office established under this Constitution; or (b) any office of any political party of which the citizen is a member. -The Draft passed by Parliament says: 38 (2) Every citizen has the right to free, fair and regular elections based on universal suffrage and the free expression of the will of the electors for— (a) any elective public body or office established under this Constitution; and (b) any office holder of any political party of which the citizen is a member. -Changes made by Wako or another: The word "and" was replaced with the word "or". -------------------------------------------- Fair hearing -The Proposed Draft Published by Wako on 6th May 2010 says: 50 (6) A person who is convicted of a criminal offence may petition the High Court for a new trial if–– -The Draft passed by Parliament says: 50 (6) A person who was convicted of a criminal offence may petition the High Court for a new trial if–– -Changes made by Wako or another: The word "was" replaced the word "is". -------------------------------------------- Restriction on activities of State officers -The Proposed Draft Published by Wako on 6th May 2010 says: 77 (3) A retired State officer who is receiving a pension from public funds shall not hold more than two concurrent remunerative positions as chairperson, director or employee of— -The Draft passed by Parliament says: 77 (3) A retired State officer who is receiving a pension from public funds shall not accept more than two concurrent remunerative positions as chairperson, director or employee of— -Changes made by Wako or another: The word "hold" replaced the word "accept". -------------------------------------------- Presidential assent and referral -The Proposed Draft Published by Wako on 6th May 2010 says: 115.

In Africa, Google Sows Seeds for Future Growth
by Christopher Kiagiri 18 May '10

18 May '10

Link (requires subscription): http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704866204575223863572630700.h… Full text version: In Africa, Google Sows Seeds for Future Growth By WILL CONNORS<http://online.wsj.com/search/term.html?KEYWORDS=WILL+CONNORS&bylinesearch=t…> LAGOS, Nigeria—Despite some of the lowest Internet penetration rates in the world, Africa has enticed Google Inc. Lured by the continent’s growth potential, Google aims to convince entrepreneurs, students and aid workers to make use of its search, mapping and mobile-phone technologies. But Africa—with roughly one billion inhabitants, over 50 countries and many regions that have limited access to electricity—presents huge obstacles. “The Internet is not an integral part of everyday life for people in Africa,” said Joe Mucheru of Google’s Kenya office. Africa lags far behind other big emerging markets in Internet use. Africa has 4% of global Internet users; China has 21%. The continent also has some of the world’s highest costs for mobile-phone and Internet service. In Nigeria, bandwidth for Internet carriers costs $3,000 to $6,000 a month per megabyte, according to Nyimbi Odero of Google’s Nigeria office. By comparison, the cost in the U.K. is about $20 a month per megabyte. Despite the expense of Internet service, Google executives say Africa represents one of the fastest growth rates for Internet use in the world. Nigeria already has about 24 million users and South Africa and Kenya aren’t far behind, according to the World Bank and research sites like Internet World Stats. “The goal is to get more people online,” said Estelle Akofio-Sowah, the Google country head in Ghana. Google wouldn’t disclose how much it has invested in Africa-based operations, and says it doesn’t yet have a revenue target for the continent. The company—which has a physical presence in Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and South Africa—says it has around 40 employees working on Africa-focused projects, with some based on the continent and others working from elsewhere. Other technology companies have also set their sights on the continent. Microsoft Corp.,International Business Machines Corp., Cisco Systems Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. have sales offices throughout Africa, selling laptops, printers and software to fast-growing companies and an emerging middle class. Though there are small-scale Internet service providers, most Internet services in Africa are provided by cellphone companies, who provide data cards that users stick into computers’ USB ports. Mobile-phone use in Africa has grown rapidly in the last decade, and remains the most common way people communicate with each other, as opposed to email or social-networking sites. “There is a tremendous pent-up demand for connectivity and access,” Mr. Odero said. Among the first Google initiatives on the continent since setting up offices there three years ago was the expansion of Google Maps. Detailed online maps of even the biggest African cities were almost nonexistent five years ago, analysts say. There are now Google maps of 51 African countries. [image: [GAFRICA]] Tunji Lardner, a consultant in Lagos working with the state government, aims to use Google technology to prevent a common scam: selling homes in Lagos that aren’t actually for sale. Hand-painted signs reading “This House is Not For Sale” are ubiquitous on the walls of homes in Lagos and most of the rest of Nigeria, but buyers continue to get cheated. Google staffers in Nigeria recently provided Mr. Lardner with a phone that uses Google’s Android operating system, which he will use to pinpoint houses actually for sale on Google Maps and create a database. Other initiatives include the nonprofit VetAid, which has started using Android phones donated by Google in Tanzania and Kenya to track the health status of livestock. And independent groups of developers have formed Google Technology User Groups, which meet to share knowledge about Google applications and services in eight African countries, including Cameroon and Egypt. Not every Google initiative in Africa has been successful. Google staff in Uganda, in partnership with South African telecom giant MTN Group Ltd. and the Grameen Foundation, started three text-based programs for cellphones: Search, Tips and Trader. The free services attracted a large user base when they were first rolled out last summer—2.7 million texts sent in the first six months, according to Google. When MTN started charging for Google Trader, the marketplace text service, usage rates plummeted, according to MTN. “The problem with offering services alone is that they’re at the mercy of the mobile service carriers,” said Jon Gossier, the American head of Appfrica, a company that mentors and incubates technology entrepreneurs in East Africa. Google will be trying to prime interest during the coming World Cup in South Africa by launching a public relations drive through its YouTube unit, which launched a site dedicated to South Africa Monday. The company is using the Internet video service to sponsor a street soccer tournament that will travel through several African countries and finish in South Africa. A Google Street View team has also been traveling throughout South Africa to map as much of the country as possible before the World Cup. -- Chris Kiagiri Technical Lead Google Kenya ----------------------- To find out what Google is doing in Africa, visit the Google Africa Blog<http://google-africa.blogspot.com/> or follow @googleafrica on Twitter.

Netbackup 6.5 SAN Client Configuration
by Pawa Plug 15 May '10

15 May '10

I am trying to configure netbackup to backup through SAN. The initial step of setting up the target mode for the port to be used by clients has failed. Note that I have one netbackup server and is also the media server. It has two fc ports. Now when trying to start the process of setting the target mode for the second hba, the FT server config is unable to succeed. The OS is Solaris 10. I already run nbftconfig using procedure from documetation from Veritas. */usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftconfig -ls No FT servers found* */usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbhba -l Unable to communicate with HBA ports. Please ensure that this system is set up correctly with nbftsrv_config. (Must not be set up as FT Server.) Error #11: system call failed* *Has anyone configure the FT media server on Solaris 10/09 successfully or am I missing something?* NB: A solution from symantec, http://support.veritas.com/docs/325332, advises to " Remove NetBackup FT drivers, reinstall Solaris 10 Fiber Channel patches 125184-08 and 125166-12 then reinstall the NetBackup FT drivers " which fails on my system since there are later versions of the patches(i.e. the said patches have been obsoleted). **

The reason that this line caught my eye is because I have no hosts in the 10.230.0.0 subnet. So I am wondering what this means. The IP subnet masks for both interfaces are 255.255.255.252 allowing for only two hosts per interface's subnet. What could this IP address be for? Me.

OT : My opinion, CCK should not back down
by aki 13 May '10

13 May '10

Corrections are welcome. Been reading the various articles and reactions of players in the industry including using the excuse that CCK is going to control prices! This is BS... and the operator who is championing the price control clause is playing politics with Kenya's Telco future. A few years ago CCK should have shut down this operator for its lack of reliable and consistent services, then the headlines would have been " Operator ready to drop prices, kenyan regulator opposes such a move ". Telco pricing has been abused many times with short term goals, market killer strategies and they know it. Safaricom knew that the least possible price drop over a given network ratio of usage subscribers and costs with entrance of new operators would be at a certain Ksh/minute. It went down this road very quickly and dominated the market. Kenya's Telco future in not in the hands on ONE operator ( whoever maybe dominant at the particular time ) because if it is, we are going to create a monster. That is the bitter reality. Finding long term solutions is not easy but I must say CCK and others who came up with the regulation have taken the first steps towards streamlining the sector. Sorry Greens, you may have bullied other operators in submission but you cannot bully the regulator. CCK public relations Dept need to up the war of words on the matter because there are 2 sides to a coin. CCK is not a share holder in other any operators so whatever it is doing is in the interest of the country's telco future, lets hope no policitics will kill the good that is going to come out later in future. And to Safaricom : Why 4G and expensive wireless licensing when you have the necessary licenses to compete with Orange/TKL on copper and adsl services? In my understanding, you are taking shortcuts on infrastructure and developments. Why build a Wireless Future kenya when there will be no frequencies left to do so? And as long as we have kenya's vision based on wireless networks, quick deployments and quick profits, we may as well compeletly forget real broadband. Me amature thots, going by the articles. :-)

IT billionaire in Kenya......
by Chips Funga 13 May '10

Good stuff but what' his employees motivation level and their income? Inspirational stuff! However, I'm drawn to his statement: “There is a disregard for Kenyan firms by Kenyans,” he says. “It’s so much to overcome and something needs to be done about it.” ...I guess a lot more needs to be done with respect to advocating for locally developed solutions... I think we have enough talent & skill locally to develop for our local needs as well as export to the markets outside... Kind Regards John

On a lighter note
by Musya mike 13 May '10

13 May '10

The following rules would should be in place: - The *dorminant* team will field 10 players instead of 11 and should not touch/kick the ball for the first five minutes after kick off. - Any player with "super normal" speed should start running towards the ball 20 seconds after the opponent. - A dominant striker should inform the referee in writting about his intentions to shoot 90 seconds before doing so. The referee can deny him the permission but if he allows him, he can alter the direction, force and/or timing of the shot. - Any *dominant* team that is two goals or more ahead will not abuse it's *dominance* by scoring more goals. Any such team might be required to tie their goalkeepers hands at the back, blindfold their *dominant* striker and have two of their *dominant* midfielders playing with 50 kg sacks of potatoes on their back. If the "weaker" opponent scores more goals than the *dominant* team, the obligations of the *dominant* team cease until such a time they score another goal.

Safaricom getting purnished unfairly
by Peter Osotsi 10 May '10

10 May '10

Safaricom started out as a department at Telkom, naturally when you have your baby, you nurture and grow it until its grown and can not only dress and shower, but can go to school, get an education and look for a good job. Safaricom should not be blamed for the ills facing the telecommunications sector, Orange and other smaller players were piggy riding on the false promise that government will "cut safaricom to size" in order for them to turn a profit. Telkom has existed for so many years I fail to count, yet Orange keeps making noise. Why cant they leverage on the Telkom brand as Safaricom did and grow? Blaming Safaricom for their own inefficiencies wont make sense. Safaricom pays the exchequer a lot of money in both direct and indirect taxes, and employs many more people out of their mainstream employees - such as partners and vendors of airtime and mpesa, not roping in the various subscription based business models, not counting even baby sitters. Does Telkom employ even a single babysitter for their employees? How long does one get a response to their problem on a Telkom network? In my area, YU internet runs as GPRS, while Safaricom is past EDGE, way into WCDMA or HSPDA. Pretty fast connection. If YU doesnt upgrade its Internet, why should I be forced to use it? And Orange is not even there. Villifying Safaicom will just add to the specter of failed enterprises and the companies complaining do not have an innovative business model to take care of a competitive business environment. Much of what Safaricom is using to develop the infrastructure is borrowed money - money that they get from bonds on the free market. I've never heard Zain, YU or Orange getting bonds to the market to raise money to improve their network. Walalahoi. Nkt. What is Safaricom doing now that they cant do? They waited until Safaricom overly publicized Mpesa for them to develop and market their own, and when that flops, they turn to the government for salvation. That is unfair. Kenyans are not being forced on Safaricom, they choose it because the SIM cards they most likely find in the nearest market is a Safaricom line and Safaricom airtime. Then they know how to choose. If Safaricom gets rewarded for their innovation and aggressive product promotion to turn a profit, so should Orange, YU and Zain. For example, Telkom/Orange keeps copying everything Safaricom does - like promotions. So how does a copy cat survive when they don't know what drives Safaricom to engage in such business practices? Infantile antics will not bring a proft to these companies. They must innovate, or just like Popote Wireless and Flashcom, they will sink with the hopes of a nation. We must Appreciate innovation and aggressive product tendencies so that like South African companies, we conquer our region. The new form of slavery, just like in the old form, needs some savages, and thats the difference. Even Access Kenya is going to die because they are not innovative. When the market needed them, they kept on shifting goal posts until Safaricom came and took hold of the market AK could not claim. Now AK has no room for further grown unless they innovate! I think in the not too distant future, the Somen's will see the fruits of innovation or lack of it, just like Popote Wireless, Flashcom, Zain, YU, Orange, UUNET and so on. And the fruits might leave a bitter taste like what YU/Orange/Zain are finding now. Please government, don't sacrifice innovation over ineptitude. The biggest loser will be the Kenya people you are purporting to be trying to save. The key wasnt monopoly, it was about allowing more players to bring competition into town and to help drive prices down. If the players can't play, they should be replaced with more savvy players who cherish competition. That's how a Kenyan will benefit. Blaming others for your ineptitude is juvenile. ------- Don't wait for success; hunt it down like there's no tomorrow.

Re: [Skunkworks] Safaricom getting purnished unfairly

Dear Skunks, Recent developments in the mobile telephony sector are of concern …reminds me of a college adage …hate the game and not the player. I opine that for a true Capitalist society to manifest the market should be subject to forces of demand and supply to create conducive conditions for the market to thrive and in extension to ensure its longevity. However Oligopolistic and monopolistic tendencies in the market ought to be constrained to cushion feeble players and potential new entrants from eventual or outright failure, as such regulation is essential however regulations have to be moderated.

Hi skunks, Been cracking my head with this all morning.

I then realized that the Internet settings on the phone aren't activated. I've activated the settings severally but the phone still can't connect to the internet. Are the settings and steps different for a post paid line as compared to the pre-paid??

Recovering my PIN and password
by solomon kariri 04 May '10

04 May '10

I have a little situation with the KRA website. I registered for a PIN sometimes last year using the online registration form. The problem is that I never received the mail with my PIN but the site tells me I already have a PIN when I try to register again. I get really pissed of when I go to the login page. My login credentials dont seem to work and when I click the forgot password link, Im asked for my email *and my PIN *which I never received. This implies that there is simply no way I can access my PIN unless I call the customer care number which I have tried to severally to no avail. Anybody know how I can get my PIN without going to their offices, coz then I think the site has a *MAJOR* bug in that one. -- Solomon Kariri, Software Developer, Cell: +254736 729 450 Skype: solomonkariri
