Conceding that Safaricom is ahead of the pack…I think the better question is ‘For how long?’
Thread hijack.... @Joshua, good to see you on the list. :-) If you have a few moments to spare, would you be able to respond to my query thread on Mocality that I put up. I'm convinced that Mocality is nothing more than a data mining service which is my personal opinion but that is not the issue. Data mining is not illegal if licensed and the operations are within the license obligations eg provider such as that of the mobile content providers. Kenyan businesses are unknowingly installing a software on their handsets that picks sensitive information on location, trends etc with a company that no one know very little about. I believe this is not about a web form or a website thing where one can collect data and call it a day. The cellular data if not in secure hands, can be security threat to the ones who registered, to say the least. Obviously that is not Mocality's intent. Is Mocality Kenya a registered business and licensed by the CCK to provide mobile content services including data mining? Your response will be appreciated. Rgds.
