[kictanet] Fwd: [Skunkworks] Do commercial web portals and sitesfall into Content Service Provider category?

[aki]

Dear Hon Ndemo, thank you very much for the clarity below which is a real
big help towards starting out on our goals. This sets the ground for us to
move kenya ahead towards more content driven in the form of web portals.
This is indeed a very positive development for some of us. Asante sana.


@Barrack, thank you for refering my query to the correct list.

@Skunks and web developers, the challenge is now open to to move from a
static web site types to more meaningful internet data which inturn will see
creation of diverse content. Great development below, comments from Hon
Ndemo surely have created a clear skies day for many. There are some nice
guidelines in the content license that help on self regulation of posted
data i.e non-offensive etc and would be a good basis of the portals.

Sorry for the cross posting.

Rgds.
