The training opf Entrepreneuors which is currently going is an indciator of the best wayforward but is it the only? I appreciate and my advise to the thiose in the Ministry of information is they recruite Chief information officers at each and evry District to work close with these entrepreneurs in ensuring technology ahs been passed to all community members. </DIV>

<DIV>By the way, what do we call e-government ? when we talk about it here in Nairobi? Lets think broadly .</DIV>

<DIV>For those us who attended the lecture presented by Dr. Ndemo in ICT conference of Strathmore University of Sep.2006 on E-government, they agree with me. </DIV>

<DIV>Many things were to be implemented but upto now they are still pending.</DIV>

The fiber will makes us no different from other countries that have such networks and deal with outside competition. As a start, it will place our networks on a level playing field as others. Export of communication and infrastructure based IT services on a global nature will be one outcome which I hope will not be resisted or made difficult by foreign exchange authorities. The regulator will have to reduce the time frame and categories of its licensing procedures to meet the rapid deployment of services/applications and infrastructure. I believe the shock will not be to those who can engineering systems nor business investors who can capitalise on the infrastructure but policy makers/enforcers who may not have been prepared for the effects
of the modern network. My 2 cents......</BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></DIV></DIV></div><br>
