[kictanet] Digital migration and mass ignorance

Sun Jan 13 19:24:38 EAT 2013

I the organization (COFEK) really had consumer interests at heart, does
anyone here want to honestly say that there are no other major (and
lifechanging) consumer issues that need to be addressed? A list from the
top of my head:

   - mobile data tariffs
   - the current LTE debacle: end-user devices are still above the $300
   mark, infrastructure needs to be replaced at  huge cost. Is that the best
   way forward given that 3G technologies/infrastructure is still not fully
   utilised?
   - Universal Service Fund: this has been successfully sabotaged by the
   operators and prevented from implementation in a way that would achieve
   "access for all" objectives
   - Fuel (petrol) cartels that are manipulating this economy left, right
   and center
   - the myriad of dubious "competitions" and "promotions" that use SMS to
   con innocent Kenyans

The list could go on and on, there is a plethora of issues where consumers
are being oppressed daily, why hasn't the organization taken any of these
issues on board?

My two cents,

Mblayo
