[kictanet] Local Content - Beyond lip service

[robert yawe]

Hi Listers,

I have been following the activities of a local developer who has made great 
strides in creating a platform for hosting local content through his web site 
www.eziki.tv.

Unfortunately due to the high cost of local hosting he has been forced, like 
many other brilliant young men and women, to host overseas where the cost are 
low but then they suffer the hit from bandwidth limitations.

This young man has taken initiative and put down his resources to prove a 
concept and I believe he deserves direct local investment from funds such as 
Tandaa, Kazi Kwa Vijana and many others instead of us asking dreamers to present 
proposals and business plans for cloud based products.

I would like to propose we pick up this has a project and bring the site back 
home and empower the team to move to greater heights before some VC from the US 
grabs him then we start lamenting.

Please visit the site and see what is on offer, you can also view my 
channel http://www.eziki.tv/quadrantshiftafrica on which I will move most of my 
rants and raves for posterity and for easier access by those who have an issue 
with reading long text.

Samsung and LG should look at this modem and see how to incorporate it in the 
new IP TVs and publicise access to eziki.tv as well as youtube and all those 
other sites.
