[kictanet] Kenya IGF on line Discussions Day 1: International Telecommunications Regulations (ITR's)

[Ali Hussein]

Ngethe 

It's a brave new world! Where new words, contexts and meanings are sprouting up every day! :)  Regulators and players have (or should) discarded purely combative engagements and it's a new dispensation. 

So Referees get in and 'play' and at the same time officiate! I know it's confusing but so is this whole new playing field! :)

My favorite word in this new confusing world is Frenemy. Yes, you got it... Friend & Enemy all in one. This is played out every day. Safaricom, Airtel, CCK et al today rubbing shoulders, tomorrow throwing barbs at each other; Google and Apple, Apple and Samsung; The Federal Trade Commission today asking one player to testify against another; tomorrow turning around and asking the former accused to testify against  the former accuser...and it goes on..You get the picture.

The point my brother is that if we are to play in this new game in town we must discard our old skins and grow new ones..Or as an old IBMer friend of mine once told me - You snooze you loose!
