The internet is but a Global Village, CCK's push is retrogressive, manipulative and meant to be a first step towards censoring and controlling the flow of information. I can for instance support the idea that everybody uses .ke domain rather than .com but then KENIC should be opened up more for serious public scrutiny and only allowed to open as an open registry i.e be in charge of only the ccTLD and not .co.ke, .me.ke etc, these should be left to the private sector for innovation to thrive.My two cents. thanks, Lucas.

Sometimes I wonder whether these officials who make such statements really know what they are talking about. Problem of written speeches.

I do not think in this day and age such proposals and remarks from govt officials should just be left sitting in the media without the requisite reprimanding. I mean with all the expertise at the CCK, this just translates to blatant ignorance. Paying leadership for incompetence is a waste of taxes. Why is there no push from the IT fraternity for the proposer of this daftness to resign? IT contributes significantly to the economy, why not get involved in the decisions being made?

If I have a .com domain purchased from an international domain seller and I host it there, there is no way to restrict a Kenyan accessing my website from here unless you go china way. Its like trying to restrict someone from accessing facebook.com and forcing them to use facebook.co.ke. The only thing they can do is restrict the local registrars for .co.ke domains to switch off domains in that extension. Which is why I said that can only restrict .co.ke domains. So if you have blahblah.co.ke, Just go and purchase blahblah.com/biz/info (Its actually cheaper). You can then have both domain point to the same server. Once they pass any such restricting laws and shutdown your .co.kedomain, you'll simply continue using your .com domain. The other alternative is to have a very simple host here and anyone going to your site is redirected to the .com one. Local hosting just ain't cut for reliability

According to the first paragraph, the law has been proposed. I think this is the point where we should come together and show the negatives of such a move.
Depending on how active we want to be, it could be as simple as a facebook group, an online petition or go shout 'haki yetu' outside CCK offices.
Either way, the talk needs to go to the guys coming up with the law. Its not enough to talk about it amongst ourselves.

I'd like to hear what @Adam Nelson has to say about this.
CCK's move is the perfect example of a loser mentality. Instead of facing the emerging challenges head on, which requires more resources (brain power, money, excellent leadership) and is much more risky, they chose the easy way out. Easy for them.
I believe the internet space is one of the few markets where the provider must know they are competing against the world, not just the region. And I believe once they reach like 70% of what the 'big shots' offer, it wont even require CCK to make customers to host locally. It will be natural
