Robert,
We moved from BPO to ITES two years ago!  The PPP on developing National
Data Centers was advertized a year ago and we are at advanced stages of
getting the partners.  What we need now is capacity development that
equals international standards (the ones you are rubbishing).


Ndemo.

> We marvelled at the energy efficient data centre that was put up at the
