[kictanet] [ke-internetusers] JKIA-Lack of wireless internet

[waudo siganga]

Antony Wachira, head of ICT at KAA tells me that they are at
procurement stage. The service will be concessioned and will be
available at JKIA and Moi Airport at a fee to users.

Robert, Wesley - I am attending a conference in Mombasa with the
head of ICT at KAA - so I will mention this to him tomorrow and
hear what he says. I agree its a problem. There should be
pervasive airside and landside wireless, preferably free like in
Singapore and Dubai airports.

And Rwanda!

  *Sigh* I lack words on how to start this. I don't have to explain
  it. Can something be done ASAP so that JKIA can have free, fast
  WiFi Internet accessible everywhere (even from the toilets). Now,
  how can Kenya boast of broadband when the gateway to Africa
  (JKIA) has nothing to show of it. Imagine the very many
  passengers who use KQ (and other airlines) from all around Africa
  who pass by our airport: Company Directors, CEOs, CTOs, CFOs, ...
  Basically people who Kenya is trying to reach in order to attract
  investments in various sectors including IT. These are the same
  people going to invest in the rest of Africa. It's beyond my
  thinking why JKIA has never tapped into this even before the
  fibres came.
  It's been a couple of months since I was there. Perhaps someone
  who was there more recently can give us an update on the current
  situation. I sure hope it has changed.
