[kictanet] Digital media

[George Nyabuga]

Dear all,

I am sure we have all heard about the digital migration launched in
December 2009. Although of course the government said this will be
complete by 2012, there is little on the ground to indicate this will
happen. Besides, there are doubts that most Kenyans will afford the
set-top boxes. Does anybody in this listserv believe the government will
do it? Does anybody have data on current consumption of digital media
(including for example the diffusion of mobile television)? How much
user-generated content is there on the internet and mobile telephony in
Kenya? Why have media been unable to develop the 40 per cent content to be
broadcast on the digital platforms?

Answers to some of these questions will help us understand digital media,
its diffusion and utilisation in Kenya.
