I was involved in scoping for such a project, problem is budjet. You need a 1mbps link between cameras, and service providers charge 40,000 KES monthly per 1mb link, local loop. They have an advertising deal with the Radio Stations, hence they are not charged. Further to this, the CCN was not of too much use getting approval from, along with suspicious building managers. That's where I left the situation at, as of Nov 2008, don't know if progress has been made though....
I believe we can develop somthing like this. Problem is funding. If we had an organized transport/Nairobi development/... ministry or whoever is in charge then funding will not be an issue. After all such a project benefits everyone.With the city wired up with fibre optic, the live cameras would give good video feed.O_O
