This is an excellent thought. These organizations and many more with high technology dependency are in a good position to stimulate the local sector. I have seen this succeed in South Africa<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Here's a thought.<br>
<br>
Most Kenyans labour under the mistaken impression that to succeed you
have to do it using the one-big-deal-that-sorts-you-out-for-life.<br>
<br>
Not true.<br>
<br>
I wonder if Safaricom, Orange, Zain & Yu would consider setting up
application portals -- something like the apple app store. Local
developers would submit applications that would be vetted and if approved, availed on the portals for download to their customers. There
would then be revenue share between developers and the telcos. Everyone
wins. Jobs created. Innovation fostered. Telcos make money.<br>
<br>
Pipe dream?
