[kictanet] Open Data - Where does it sit?

[Lucy Kimani]

All I will one up on Francis and Ali why wouldn't a Google for example not have dedicated IDCs built in Kenya considering said centers could then serve east africa and yes it does matter where the data is hosted legally if such data were to be subpoenaed for whatever reason then if hosted in US they would have to be produced hence implications of jurisdiction matter in that the datacenter is located within US jurisdiction and must therefore abide by the laws.
