Even before the politicians step forward, the idea of County Tech Hubs (great name!) is perhaps gonna take a bit of time to realize - if ut ever gets practical. Why?
1. Most companies/even govt, still centralize almost all their ops in NBI. It will take them time to County-rize them. This also
   makes the techies believe that NBI is everything. I think it will take quite some time for the techies to move back to the
   counties.
2. The Counties as devolved govt units are so large, so much that the only way would be to setup several Tech Hubs within a
    county, so that they're easily accessible/reachable. The problem I see here is that of having idle/dormant Tech Hubs given that
    not all counties (sub counties) will produce enough users for such facilities. It might not make economic sense to have them
    in the counties until such a time when people's thinking will have switched from NBI->Counties.

Wait a moment - I have just killed the County Tech Hubs idea? :-)
Not quite though. Having Tech Hubs at the Social Centres in the sub-counties may make more sense....

Other 'hubs' are encouraged. iHub obviously can't take care of everyone...

With iHub, is it assumed that the only people who require the services are resident in Nairobi?

If yes, then I think it's upon the Counties to start their own iHubs at central locations within the counties.

Oh, I need to read again the idea behind iHub, and the objectives.

If there's a critical mass of devs/ techies/ creatives why not?

Doesn't really need to be called 'iHub'

how beneficial would it be to have iHUB satellite stations in Mombasa or Kisumu?
