[kictanet] Kenya's Internet domain market set for a shakeup – Part II

[Grace Githaiga]

One notable difference from South Africa that is emerging in the Kenyan case is that the Kenyan regulator intends to assume its regulatory oversight over the dot.KE name space.  This is as per the amended, Kenya Information Communication Act, 2009 and as recently emphasized in a post to the KICTAnet list by the CCK communication manager, Mr. Christopher Wambua. It will be interesting to see what role KENIC will be left to play, once this de-facto, self-regulation practice is taken away.In yet another posting to the KICTAnet list,  Prof. Jimmy Macharia, the current KENIC Chairman envisions KENIC retaining its administrative control over both the ccTLD and the Second Level Domains.  This is quite different from the South African case where the second level domain management and administration is outsourced to different entities.http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/blogs/dot9/Kenyas-Internet-Domain-Set-for-a-Shakeup-Part-II/-/1959700/2172042/-/kj8tmsz/-/index.html
