http://techforworldtravel.wordpress.com/ Notes: 1. The recent troubles in Kenya have frightened international investors, so hotels and tour operators are pulling out all the discounts they can to attract business. - Yawn! 2. Panari - high-speed WiFi - "something I suspect is not in the hotel’s control. DUH!! What is in their control, however, are the rates they charge. DUH!! A mere 3 hours of surfing cost me a whopping US$18, and there’s a negligible discount (but...but...) for buying longer periods of access." 3. "At Nairobi airport, the technology is even less business-friendly" Duh! 4. "The Premier Lounge’s own “loungehotspot” had a relatively strong signal, but the router’s connection to the net was quite unstable, frequently going offline." Duh! 5. "Nobody knowledgeable was available at the desk, so fellow travellers tried to help each other." Duh! 6. "The phone is still the preferred way, even for data. Nairobi almost has 3G - SafariCom and Celtel both have EDGE<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Data_Rates_for_GSM_Evolution>(technically a “2.75G” connection) data availability on their networks though I was not able to make it work" Duh! 7. "100 Kenyan shillings (about US$1.50 at time of writing) gets you a sim card, though I bought mine at a kiosk at the airport for three times that." Duh! 8. "My Uganda MTN SIM card found Safaricom’s network but would not keep a signal - apparently SafariCom is having major network issues right now." Duh!! Anything else the world needs to know about Kenya's connectivity issues?
