my feeling so far is that we have been somewhat constrained in this  
discussion with the assumption (conscious or unconscious) that  
regulatory eContent and e-Communication is framed within a web-based  
paradigm.

What can you say to debunk that notion?

What can others say to bring in other "e" forms of media/distribution/ 
access?

What I can put in is:
- Comic Book - targetted towards helping semi-literate understand  
what regulation is, why regulators are needed and who their regulator is
- E-Book - all regulations in e-book format (a simple converter will  
do this from a word/PDF document). E-Books should also be  
downloadable from the 'net
- E-Book readers; e.g. http://www.learningcenter.sony.us/assets/itpd/ 
reader/ ; or any Windows or Palm PDA
- Radio programme - "know your regulator" - could be a series (4-6  
weeks) that is repeated twice a year
- TV programme - "Communications Regulation in Kenya" for a  
documentary type approach; "How to E" for a youth-oriented, more  
lively approach
- interaction with local movie/soap producers so that CCK can be a  
feature in their programming e.g. Inspekta Mwala and Jihoja  
Mahakamani really helps people understand the police, law and justice  
related issues
