@Barrack,
The part of your posting that I have marked in bold is as vague as it comes. It can mean anything, and I dare say it can take any form, including sniffing of all traffic. Actually, I wonder what this debate is about. Is it the misinformation regarding the fact that there will be packet sniffing and logging or about someone mentioning CCK & ITU in bad light?
I beg to differ a bit, for those following developements in Cyber Security, you all know that plans are underway for the formation of the Kenya Computer Emergency Response Centre KCERT which is meant to beef up our response to Cyber Security attacks. I was priviledged to attend one of the Cybersecurity workshops hosted by CCK last year and of which several skunkers were presenting, in laymans terms KCERT will provide an early warning system for impending Cyberattacks since it will be a focal point for various other institutional certs that we will have locally, thats why they have to work with ISPs and other regulators. I am involved in standards developement at Kenya Bureu of Standards ISO 27000 series and the role of the Computer Emergency Response Centres cannot be underestimated, on another note maybe the article was meant to stir debate but that is my humble opinion as a citizen.
Cheers!
