[kictanet] DRAKE Agenda: The 30Billion .KE Ecosystem

[waudo siganga]

Thanks for the update Kariba. Indeed I remember well Dec 31, 1999 well
when I went to hide in a mud hut overnight after we had been convinced
that everything, including multi-story buildings, was going to collapse!
I remember there was a national emergency response centre at Hilton
Hotel to coordinate anticipated things like the bursting of Masinga dam,
lifts getting stuck and traffic lights going haywire.
 
Wishing you well on the .ke journey. How do you see .ke being impacted
by the new gTLDs?

In 2017, The National Broadband strategy[3] will lapse and with our hardwork 1,000,000 + domains should have been registered. DRAKE has been formulating the .KE Ecosytem[4] and building a roadmap towards achieving a Kshs. 30Billion Ecosystem through value addition from the bottom up. In 2014, we kicked off the .KE automation drive that saw all our members adopt a click and pay approach to domain purchases. In 2015, through KENIC we saw the launch of #weareke a national brand awareness campaign.
