[kictanet] Kenya: Good Mobile Access Fails To Boost Weak Connectivity Rating 2009

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Was this a research?  If so what was the methodology used?  Kenya was full
of praise for starting free secondary education.  Although we have some
challenges in terms of connectivity we are not that bad.

> Kenya’s performance on the 2009 Connectivity Scorecard places it nearly
> at the bottom of the nations sampled. In almost every consumer and
> business measure of connectivity, Kenya failed to achieve a passing
> score. Exceptions include an above average proportion of the population
> provided with mobile access, and a relatively high literacy rate. Kenya
> displays one of the worst secondary school enrolment rates out of all
> the countries surveyed, along with weak broadband and internet
> penetration. Bandwidth availability is also quite low. Kenya’s
> E-Government ranking falls below the median.
>
> Despite a history of innovation, notably in the mobile segment, Kenya’s
> economic progress is held back by a lack of investment in human
> development in order to provide workers with the skills necessary to
> drive an ICT-based economy. Regulation of the telecommunications sector
> has also slowed development of the broadband services required to create
> a more sophisticated business infrastructure.
