[kictanet] ISPs slap Ndemo

[dennis kipruto]

Edwin,

I also agree with you.100%

I beleive that the ISP's arent developing product for the common mwanainchi
who want to spend less on Internet.

I have been observing the market and there are two potential products that
come to my mind.

   1. Butterfly from KDN- this is indeed a great idea from KDN but the
   execution is poor.The internet keeps flactuating, Getting the top up cards
   is a hustle and further more their charging system isnt that good.
   2. loopnet from KDN also a good idea for corporates who want to advertise
   via this free wifi but the lease period of 3 hrs isn't helping further more
   there are restriction as to how many people can connect at a time.

WAN  and MAN area local networks havent been exploited yet.

the ISP's need to change their strategy so that they can reach the masses.
Advice to them is that they move from the top of the pyramid and focus on
the guys with wifi phones or notebooks.

rgds,
Dennis Kipruto.
