I dont know... I will dig for more later<br>> 1. Do you know that you must top up Kshs.2500 so that you can browse at<br>> Kshs.2.50 per MB... otherwise you if you mistakenly use Kshs. 100 to top up<br>> you will surf at Kshs.12.00.

full page ads.. but shy to tell you the real costs. I hope they<br>> change this<br>><br>> Let me not spoil your fun, but take yourself there... you will be proud of<br>> what we have on display by kenyans... like the sega silcon valley,<br>> electronic/engineering student display... and much more.... hey also pay a<br>> visit to KDN (ushago idea is ver inviting) and Seacom stands...<br>><br>> Although I did not know WHAT AND WHY KBC was displaying... they have some<br>> priorities wrong, they should luanch online radio first instead of online<br>> TV.. What do you think?<br>><br>> *Personal though of the day<br>> *I think that we are now headed for mergers, consolidation and synergistic<br>> operations for internet and CCK's operators.
