[kictanet] .ke domain costs too high

[Barrack Otieno]

Bob i beg to differ,

Kenic is an interesting model that other countries are trying to study and
emulate and we shouldnt be quick to demonize it, i beleive the organization
has come a long way and i would wish to commend its leadership. That
notwithstanding my take on the matter is since Kenic is a PPP, then it is
upon the stakeholders of which you and i are included to find objectives
solutions to the challenge with regard to the .Ke Pricing. We have to be
proud of the achievements we have made however kidogo , that is the only way
we will improve the industry and move ahead, i was just looking at Internet
Stats today we have slightly over 3 million Internet users out of a
population of 40 million, the thirty nine million will only be reached if we
in the industry collaborate.
Regards
