[kictanet] what really merits discussion on KICTANET

[Harry Delano]

Alice Best,
 
IMCO it would be abit of a tough call to delink the list from these
relevant/pertinent queries raised from time
to time, since they would still be geared towards a policy/regulatory
framework that govern quality of service 
and value.
 
On the contrary to a picture emerging where one service provider seems to be
under siege, the more the
they engage constructively, the more they transform this user feedback into
service improvement which
works out for their benefit in the long run, compared to the rest. This
forum provides a rich platform for 
interaction, and I would attest that it has gone a long way to influence the
kind of advancements we are 
seeing in the industry. A lot of lobbying, particularly from this list for
example has resulted in affordable 
and quality service. 
 
Perhaps, instead of gagging such kind of discussions what we may need to see
in place is how we can 
channel them in a balanced approach on the list.
 
Regards,
Harry

Dear all

Although consumer satisfaction are policy/regulatory related issues, let us
please avoid turning this list into a service provider help-list. It is not
fair to other listers and  to the operators compelled to respond in this
manner. 

This list aims to provide a collaborative multi stakeholder forum/space for
policy and regulatory discussions and engagement in support of the
government's mission to enable all Kenyans to gain maximum benefit from
opportunities offered by ICTs.  So would be a much more beneficial exercise
if we discussed these issues within the context of  quality of service and
consumer protection. 

On the other hand,  operators may wish to set up a similar list for customer
interactions?

Thanks and best

Alice



Or, if anyone wants to use this forum to convey complaints to operators,
could we possibly then introduce a subject line that clearly identifies the
email as such? Then I can delete those.

Hi All, 
With all due respect to various subscribers of data/voice and other services
who have genuine grievances against various operators and their services, I
feel compelled to ask what the scope of discussions is on KICTANET?   And
could those discussions be within an actionable framework e.g. what does the
comms act say abt poor QoS, what are the metrics for measuring network
quality, etc.

Otherwise as it stands, its no more different than the "Watchman" column in
the Daily Nation.   And to a certain extent I suspect its being used as an
online focus group - to test waters and gauge opinions.  In other instances
some subliminal (individual or corporate) marketing creeps in.   

Can the moderators please stand up and offer clarity on what really merits
discussion?
