David, lest we mix issues this has got nothing to do with spectrum allocation but Cyber Security, unless I am refering to the wrong press release.

David,

It is good you are on board i beleive the correct position will be
given by CCK since they also represent us in the ITU and i hope Mr.
Mutua who is somewhere on the list is following the debate all i have
is the street version as an interested stakeholder.
Late last year we had this conference on Cyber Security organised by
CCK in collaboration with the George Mason University one of the
issues being discussed was this animal called Kenya Computer Emergency
Response Centre aka KCERT. To the best of my understanding this is a
national focal point that collects and collates data on impending
Cyber Security attacks and works in collaboration with Sectoral CIRTS
hosted by ISP's IXP's and other regulators. In that Conference we had
guys from Police, Military, banking Sector, IXP's and the others (i
mean the common man : where i belong). On doing further research i
discovered that ITU is doing something similar on a global basis to
counter global CyberSecurity hence this collaboration with our
regulator which i saw on TV a couple of weeks back. As for the rest
CCK will speak for itself since i havent seen any message on my mpesa
line  :-)
