Interesting article Mworia.
I wish you had mentioned that the SAT/WASC/SAFE (West African cable)
bombed coz South Africa Telkom (as the main managers) charged ISP's
exhorbitant rates which forced the ISPs to revert to satellite. This
was the main reason we decided to go our own way with TEAMS.
You have rightly pointed out that essential components are not yet in
place. It is however not possible to wait for society to catch up, it
has to be prompted. My basic premise is quite simple - Kenyans are not
averse to technology. Infact the mobile telephony boom is evidence
enough. It is up to us ICT professionals to be creative and innovative
with the infrastructure that the fibre-optic will provide. Technology
must solve our society's problems if it is to be 'revolutionary'. That
is what mobile telephony has being doing and is what IT should do.
