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

[aki]

Hi Robert,

Regarding websites and content, please check out what I did a few months
ago www.chekelea.com which will give you an idea of the ICT
product diversity in kenya. The site does not generate any money but is a
reference point.

Going back to what needs to be done to allow many in the industry to come
out and go all out in development portals, technologies etc, I think the
same approach used by KRA i.e upto Ksh 5million per year that describes
informal sector should also apply in the communications sector. This will
allow many small entities to devote time and efforts towards goals. Once a
certain thresh hold is achieved, then it would become necessary to move into
the bigger picture. On the license categories issues, one of the biggest
challenges to innovation will always be these. Because innovation always
starts with the end result in mind, it will always be in conflict with
officialness when the time to deployments comes.

I hope the commission will consider a new approach towards liberating the
smaller tech sectors. Then the positive battles for content, distribution,
service availability and diversity can begin proper.

My simple thots.

Rgds.
