Internet Connectivity in Tassia/Doonholm area
I need to set up a cyber in the following area, which is the best internet conectivity I can get in that area of Tasia/Doonhom?
Sorry not to answer your question but throw another one in the works - are cyber's still sustainable since the entrance of mobile internet users? ./Ok3ch On Fri, Nov 9, 2012 at 9:07 AM, Joseph Maina <mainasoft00@gmail.com> wrote:

To my surprise the still are since not all kenyans can afford mobile data at a level which Cybers can offer without paying more than they ca afford. Basic mobile data is affordable to most but try to others not so much not to mention other services like offered in cybers. Ever wondered why they have cyber cafes in the states?

Relevant, maybe, but does it give returns - am not talking of the 90's returns, but just for you to be able to stay afloat - like is it a really worthwhile business now? ./Ok3ch On Tue, Nov 13, 2012 at 10:40 AM, Joseph Maina <mainasoft00@gmail.com> wrote:

At Ksh. 1 or less, Cybers are affordable to many that mobile data (Ksh. 2 per minute) or bundles which many come to find translate to more than Ksh. 60 per hour. Ksh. 100 will get you 2 or more hours (can download lots) in a cyber compared to 80Mb on Safaricom.
Cyber Cafe's are not only about accessing the Internet. Look at them from the perpective of offering Infrastructure as a Service. They are about offering connected front end computing resources all packaged as a time or per use based service. These could range from desktop computers, fax, printers, Media editing and writing etc Yes most people can afford mobile data and probably a not-so-smart phone to access the Internet BUT not many can afford a computer and even if they could afford a dirt cheap one .. it is not really a priority investment in the common Kenyan household. One may argue that one doesn't need a computer BUT try writing a thesis or term paper on a blackberry or S3 and you will soon find yourself in a Cyber. Other factors include availability of power, physical security, space and with the young generation Cyber's have become hangout joints for socializing.. brgds On 13/11/2012, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

Ok let me ask foolishly, How many people own a cell phone that can retrieve and read a PDF file. How many people have a phone that can read, attach and download a .doc/x, xls and plah plah that answered how many people can afford internet daily or go for the idea of having a modem loaded with bundles monthly to access internet. Ok I said they are foolish so don look at me, How many cybers have closed or opened new branches Ok how many times has a friend told you am from a cyber or I will go to cyber Ok is the cyber market still live???????

This probably doesn't prove anything... but Norwich Union house still boasts quite a number of cybers. The one on 7th floor is usually particularly busy, and closes late. Makes it an ideal meeting place for geeks :-) Oh yeah, and the cybers in interfina house, open very early, close late. They seem averagely busy. I concur with @Kibui, cyber's are no longer just about internet, but related services. Of the several times I have visited a cyber, it is often while waiting for someone, or waiting for the rain to stop raining, or waiting for freak traffic jams to clear.

Yes most people can afford mobile data and probably a not-so-smart
phone to access the Internet BUT not many can afford a computer and
even if they could afford a dirt cheap one .. it is not really a
priority investment in the common Kenyan household. One may argue that
one doesn't need a computer BUT try writing a thesis or term paper on
a blackberry or S3 and you will soon find yourself in a Cyber.
Other factors include availability of power, physical security, space
and with the young generation Cyber's have become hangout joints for
socializing..

Ksh. 100 will get you 2 or more hours (can download lots) in a cyber compared to 80Mb on Safaricom.

Yes most people can afford mobile data and probably a not-so-smart phone to access the Internet BUT not many can afford a computer and even if they could afford a dirt cheap one .. it is not really a priority investment in the common Kenyan household. One may argue that one doesn't need a computer BUT try writing a thesis or term paper on a blackberry or S3 and you will soon find yourself in a Cyber.
Other factors include availability of power, physical security, space and with the young generation Cyber's have become hangout joints for socializing..

Throw in a photocopier and don't be surprised if a student(s) walk in one day wanting to make copies of notes or a book the size of the Fifth Edition Physics by A. F. Abbott :-) On 11/13/12, Thomas Kibui <thomas.kibui@gmail.com> wrote:
