[kictanet] looking back - over my shoulder - 2010

[muriuki mureithi]

Thanks Sam 

Yes, Mr Gachui brought the first revolution in pricing  of internet  in 1999 when through  Wananchi he  brought down the monthly tariff  to Ksh 1000. This charging model was a revolution and turned the market on its head. The leading ISP at the time   never recovered!!

 

 

cheers

Thanks MM  for bringing out this debate/reflection.   Before contributing to the specifics, as one person who has been in the sector for 15 years i take this opportunity to pass my condolences and also honour Mr Gachui who contributed to the ICT immensely vide Wananchi Online.  Wananchi to some extent redifined the sector then by introducing pricing models that enhanced deepening.  

Regards,

Sam

Hi Listers 

 

Within a few days , 2010, will be history........  gone into our history 

 

 But I believe   the year was not in vain for the ICT sector in Kenya, – there are some indelible  memories of actions, events , personalities, institutions  that shaped the sector positively and  or negatively ...

 

Listers,  let’s take a moment to look back  and reflect ---

 

1.       WHAT do you think  changed the ICT terrain and changed the lives of Kenyans, mainstreamed ICTs,  put Kenya proudly on the global map

2.       WHO  was the that person/institution/corporate  in your view that ICT fraternity should honour  for the great deeds that changed the ICT sector and the larger national economy and perhaps global 

 

 

Please share your thoughts  in the list within the next two days in a paragraph explaining your choice

 

 


Very best regards
