[kictanet] Day 4:Ensuring Effective Implementation of the Laptop Project - The Key Variables :Day 4: Maintenance & Disposal (issues of support, environmental concerns, etc)

[Grace Githaiga]

@ Walu, last week I attended the CCK Women and ICTs conference and someone by the name Musili in the Q $A session reported that Kenya has the best e-management center in Africa. Clearly this info is not available to to the public. I tweeted and one of the responses from Kwamchetsi read "like they keep it somewhere for it to turn into e-manure?"

Again, not being sure of how we shall dispose off the millions of laptops after the expiry of their lifespan, but I seem to read how Europe does it.  Read on @

nb: there was a time Safaricom buzzed about putting together a facility for it 25million+ customers to dump their old phones.  Maybe if they have such a facility, it could be equipped/expanded to deal with laptops...just thinking randomly...

Lister's,

Many thanks to all those who have contributed to todays discussion, the thread is still open, day four will focus on hardware:

What  Maintenance & Disposal issues should the government take into account before the project is implemented? (issues of support, environmental concerns, etc)
