[kictanet] Kenya IGF 2011 List Discussions Day 4 Cloud Computing

[Dennis Kioko]

Good points from Washington,

Asn as for KPLC, this is why we need to be very vocal in having Sam Gichuru
go face the charges facing him abroad, since we are not willing to charge
him with anything. In fact , during their rebranding, KPLC should
have addressed how the guy fleeced the company to a point that a Monopoly
was making losses.

I am not that harsh with KPLC as they have shown effort in new initiatives
that include investment of circuit breakers and switches on their network to
isolate problematic areas - I know that my area suffers chronic black outs
because of illegal and overloaded connections in the neighbouring area -
from affecting the rest of the grid. They are also in the process of having
transmission cables replaced by underground cabling. This efforts need to be
fast track these.

As for cloud providers, I do agree that they also need to provide better
solutions - the recent breed of SaaS applications go beyond the traditional
Linux , PHP, Apache MySQL hosting.
