[kictanet] D. Migration - CAK Needs to Educate the Average Kenyan!

[Edith Adera]

Thanks Rachel for sharing this.

While this is great to share, the average Kenyan has NO clue what we're talking about, why they need to move, what they need to get in terms of STB, where, prices etc. The list you've sent is very technical, how can you simplify it for the common person and even for those alittle more techy, how do I know which model is better etc. The specs don't make sense to the common person.

What is CAK doing to educate the average Kenyan (whom as we know is a "peculiar" consumer)?

I'm very concerned that we are just watching the theatrics, but not many are moving in the direction of migration, in reality!

We can talk off line

Dear Listers,

Sorry I have been off the list for a while for technical reasons but good to see this debate on digital migration.

I thought I would share some facts about digital migration together with a list of boxes type-approved by the Authority with respective contacts.

Listers,
I would be interested to know, for those who have bought set top boxes, which one are you using, where did you get it from, at how much and what is your experience?
Regards,
