[kictanet] @CA and @KENIC, what became of the regulations on registering devices for public WiFi?

[Luke O]

Hello Listers
Looking at the timeframe of that article when it was written, is it safe to
assume the proposed regulation has clearly not yet been implemented unless
it was done covertly?

Interesting point I noted regarding the posited national device registry,
are there other such registries already in existence (either belonging to
telecom operators, national immigration etc) and if so who has access to
the data on them, and can citizens control the data held on them?

Knowing that operators like Safaricom and KRA already have all our details
including number of mobile phones we bought/or brought into the country,
aren't such types of depository already a form of passive digital
surveillance

Hi Nanjira,

The reporting is somewhat questionable. KeNIC has a clear mandate as
Adminisrative and Technical Manager of the .KE Registry. Registering
devices is way out of its mandate. The Regulator can easily monitor
device owners if it wanted through Service Providers, most network
equipment have the capability to do this work using their simple
dashboards hence i don't see the need for a specialized entity.

Thank you

Best Regards
