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

[Edwin Onchari]

Kenyans being as industrious, can generate enough power for their own
consumption and even distribute, but the last time I checked (unless this
has changed) you need to get some sort of a "nod" from KPLC to do this- and
they are usually reluctant. If fiber can be guaranteed to remote locations,
then the data center providers can locate the facilities in such areas where
electricity can be reliably and cheaply produced; like the many falls that
dot river Kucha" for instance (and many others throughout Kenya including
geothermal resource locations)- translating to economic trickle down to the
locals and reliable SaaS products.

Best Regards,

Edwin

Let us look at things from the postive side.  Challenges are the greatest
opportunities.  If Kengen cannot produce enough power, let us look for
resources to do it instead of complaining. As far as I know, you can produce
captive power and bypass KPLC.  They will wake up if we take advantage of
their gaps.
