[kictanet] CENSUS RESULTS AND TRAFFIC CAMERAS

[robert yawe]

Hi,

The statistic on the number of computers is false, Safaricom is said to have 
sold over 1 million laptops yet the census results give a figure of 
approximately 311,000 computers making this statistic ludicrous.  Additionally 
the census sets the number of mobile phones at 5.5 M.

This is why we need the census information published so that we can poke holes 
in it.  The presence of computers in the home requires electricity and also a 
reason for a family to need to buy one.  Kenya power has a little over 1 million 
subscribers which includes businesses, government offices and institutions of 
learning.  Also note that there are only 2.45 house holds with TVs which is a 
low tech device.

Unlike a mobile phone it will be expensive having to take your laptop for 
charging at the shopping centre everyday especially since we treat solar power 
as a taboo subject yet the creator has never sent anyone a bill for using the 
sun.

We need relevant content on the TV, a drive to tap solar and wind for power 
generation, promote LCD & LED screens because they require less power than the 
CRT devices and can even work on DC power, mobile friendly local web content 
after which we can look at placing more computers in the home.

Hi All,

Indeed kudos access kenya for seeing opportunities and not problems. As a matter 
of fact you have clearly demonstrated the need for even much bigger bandwidth 
pipes.

Back to census, have listers noted the fact that only 3.6% of kenyan households 
have at least one computer that means 1.5milion only? As you talk of people at 
the bottom of payramid having use of content just realize they have no access 
and thats where we should begin. I cant agree more with PS Ndemo for Computer 
assembly locally and 300 computers for each constitueancy initiative. 
FACTS DONT LIE !!!!!!

Cheers All

Interesting! Kudos to Access Kenya.
 
We would do better with higher bandwidth to get it for sure "real  time" rather 
than "slow motion"

No more dashing in to the jams blindly,  you can now check out the traffic real 
time before you hit out. Quite  revolutionary.
