Service providers if anything should concentrate on marketing their services around this areas(middle-class) since this is where most of the Kenyans lie. And am imagining a scenario where fibre is taken to the upmarket where the consumers are hardly home and spend time with "mipango za kando" while people in Buruburu are looking for fast, yet good rates of Internet prices.

Broadband is already available via WiMAX in Buru, Unoja & surrounding areas. BuruBuru is a major part of our rollout for TV & cable triple-play - it's definitely not going to be ignored. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Ouma" <kevin.ouma@gmail.com> To: "Skunkworks Forum" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Sent: Wednesday, December 9, 2009 11:15:16 AM GMT +03:00 Iraq Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] BD : Telkom to start 3G trials this week? Riyaz Out of curiosity when will Zuku cable be available in Buru Buru or is it one of the "poor" neighbourhoods thats not in your radar. kevin On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 10:57 AM, Riyaz Bachani < riyaz.bachani@ke.wananchi.com > wrote: I think the best guide right now would be the websites of the particular channels. We looked at adding EPG to the existing setup and it was just better to wait to introduce it in the new network. One of the challenges providers have over Africa is that DSTV has signed exclusive arrangements with all the content providers in order to tie up the content against competition. This will continue to hinder growth of pay TV services around Africa, unless the govts/providers act to break this monopoly of content.

Also Zuku doesn't just take free sat feeds & distribute - we pay a lot of premium channel owners for rights on premium channels. There is a dedicated team working on this, and continuously adding new mainstream English channels to the network. Hi @Riyaz, thnks for the clarification. While EPG is being setup, is there a monthly TV guide that one can check what programs/timings to expect? ( The guys ( near con? ) who were simply out to make money with serious breaches of channel piracy were CTN, and then there was the mitsumi I think? Not many know of the broadcast industry and the piracy that went with it. These people were never interested in EPG, TV guides etc, just take the variuos feeds and make money from them. Kawaida pattern of things..... but am sure now that Zuku will turn around things ) -- ( the rise of Yoda! Ready are you? What know you of ready?
