[kictanet] Status of IPv6 deployment in Kenya

[John Gitau]

@Michuki - I think what wash is alluding to is the fact that technical guys
are well informed, its the business drivers we need. Technical training is
being organized for all over the place. Tomorrow even has a webinar by
France telecom through AFNOG <http://www.afrinic.net/ipv6_webminar.htm>
/TESPOK

What we need lets say next year is our own very public case study just like
we're using france telecom or slovania
<http://www.arnes.si/en/news/news-item/article/slovenia-scores-in-the-ipv6-ripeness.html>as
a model IPv6 early adopter.

So for me the issue is more of leadership. Which ISP will take this debate
to the next level, which techie, which grouping of people (I like what
TESPOK has done so far). EANOG? Even this sort of discussion is a step
forward. It creates awareness and provides a platform for discussion.

Personally I'd be more than happy to work with/consult for anyone willing
to deploy on condition most of the documentation be public.Im sure many on
this list would like to do the same.

So someone/some-entity needs to take the lead. The bigger this entity -
Safaricom? Telkom? - the better (no not government). We can all get in
there and help and create and learn from the experience.
