[kictanet] Congratulations to KENET

[Peter Kenduiywo]

Yes indeed Walu. KENET was the only entity exempted from the requirement
that Telkom could provide gateway services to only ISPs. Even subsidiaries
of Tellom did not qualify!!
Well done KENET.

was KENET that brought the internet to MMU - then KCCT 12 years ago in
1998/1999.

buy internet services from Telkom Kenya in order to provide the same to one
of its subsidiary!

I was fortunate to participate in an e-readiness survey of our universities
in 2006 and again in 2008, I can confirm that the change witnessed between
the period was phenomenal. This initiative ignited a demand for better ICT
facilities by students and staff at universities. I believe universities
communities are the largest Internet bandwidth consumers in the country now.
