[kictanet] The broadband mess in Kenya - and I’m so angry

[robert yawe]

I totally disagree, the bigger picture is that we are refusing to move forward and just keep creating roadblocks.

Safaricom paid for the license let the others pay, this reminds me of the people complaining in Mombasa about being charged for ferry services.  The same people then scream blue murder when the ferry stalls mid way.

Lets fight for unlimited connectivity locally as this would directly benefit us at the bottom of the pyramid thus at the top can take care of themselves.

Listers,

Reading the article, there is a sense that one mobile service providers is operating a GSM monopolistic tyranny...So that we don't lose the bigger picture(I.e the contribution this said provider has made to the industry...read Safaricom), I guess it would help for the MoIC to organise or setup up a desk where users can report their grievances, and then the PS can take it up with the regulators...will this work,I don't know,however I believe dialogue is key,can CCK do it,I DON'T think so...who can help sort out the mess...PS Ndemo and if need be parliamentary committee on ICT...What say you Hon.Rege?I am sure the Kenyan consumer has been taken for a ride for far too long and its about time someone sorted out the issues soberly!

And by the way what does CCK do again? Do we need CCK?Can't the ministry manage the whole telecoms desk so that we have some accountability person...I think we have created structures (like CCK whose accountability is to nobody and whose role is really questionable...!

My case rested..
