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

Tue Sep 22 20:45:42 EAT 2009

Solomon,
There is nothing impossible if we talked or e-talked.  Most of the
questions here are solvable.  We have considered Government to be
something outside the realm.  We reduced BPO registration at CCK from
100,000 to 10,000.  On hosting, give us a bit of time.  Local data centers
will sort this out.

Regards

Ndemo.
