[kictanet] Facebook's Express Wifi is Now Live in Nairobi

[Timothy- Coach- Oriedo]

No its not.

Unlike internet.org, which restricts access to specific sites and
constrained format, Express Wifi is focused on providing last mile internet
connectivity to SMEs.

Its Facebooks answer to infrastracture deployment. It partnered with Elon
Musk's Space X to launch satelites into space soecifically for that purpose.

Hi Tim

Is this the same as Internet.org?

I think Airtel has been running this program with Facebook for sometime?

This issue of Net Neutrality and how Multinationals like Facebook and
Airtel engage in Africa is definitely a contentious issue. The arguments
for and against are numerous. I myself have come to one conclusion:-

That the Net Neutrality question is very emotive and each region must work
towards the optimal tools on how to navigate it. This list has talked about
Net Neutrality for many years. I think it's time this country and Africa
really engage with government (The CA in the Kenya) on what the official
position is.

Reaching out to Rachel. What is the CA's position on this?
