This may interest they guys starting the ISP: http://google-africa.blogspot.com/2011/07/small-step-towards-improving-internet.html

You could probably start in a small high density area then grow out. Probably student areas or dense middle class areas like Highrise or Nyayo Embakasi.

Just a thought.

Permanent State of Re-Invention.jpg
Permanent State of Re-Invention
Like gapingvoid cartoon #371 'Permanent State of Re-Invention' July 28th, 2011 on Facebook  Twitter Facebook Digg MySpace Delicious

I first drew this in 2004. A wee doodle that I thought very little about at the time.
Yet over time, the simplicity of the message seems to have resonated with a lot of people.
Any fool can be a burnout or a calcified dinosaur. Reinvention is much harder. And to keep doing it, again and again? MUCH, MUCH harder.
But that's what makes it so worth doing...

As long as you have a competitive edge that can be sustained(5 years down the line,maybe 10 or more) and that can survive the onslaught of Queen Bee and others with similarly deep pockets, then you have a chance.

What kills many startups is starting with a good idea that runs out in no time, and in ICT, that horizon could be 6 months to a year.

All the best and I hope all involved are willing to give it their all especially in the hard times.

So here's my question to you who have asked questions on this thread like 10 bob from Saf Com etc. If Saf Com ever got down to 10Bob for Data, my job would be done.

Here's the point of this venture. You as a consumer are currently satisfied quite clearly by the Data being provided by our Internet Data Providers, ISP's or whatyouwantocallthem. In my opinion, you're settling. I don't want to settle and i'm going to try and get people to understand what that feels like so i've got myself figuring out what that is going to entail.

I've seemed to have got a few specialists who are enthusiastic about doing the ISP thing and i'm keen on making a dent on this economic slave maker so where do you want to stand?

Anyhoo..

Updating soonest. There's been a breakthrough. :D

Thats fear talking.....why some people never accomplish goals set...there is always a what if. What if, what if....why not just do the project and see what happens. What if it rains....wel, it will make you buy an umbrella. So if safcom are to do that, you will have a customer base, do better

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.
