That notwithstanding my take on the matter is since Kenic is a PPP, then it is upon the stakeholders of which you and i are included to find objectives solutions to the
challenge with regard to the .Ke Pricing. We have to be proud of the achievements we have made however kidogo , that is the only way we will improve the industry and move ahead, i was just looking at Internet Stats today we have slightly over 3 million Internet users out of a population of 40 million, the thirty nine million will only be reached if we in the industry collaborate.<br>

Today I renewed by .ke domain under duress, it costs me 3 times the cost of registering a .anythingelse, and even higher if I register for 5 years or more. <br><br>Maybe I am a kumbafu, what does it actually take to actually run KENIC, from the charges it must require a super computer with runs off a nuclear powered grid. Can someone please enlighten me on this issue.<br>
<br>I listened to the KENIC director indicate that this cost was as a result of the low uptake, so why punish the choir, can we have the charges dropped or sell KENIC to safaricom or KDN who can then give us domain names for "free" and recover from the bandwidth costs? <br>
<br>This issue of an independent registrar is bull and we need a quick solution to this, then all we do is lament about the slow uptake of technology and the reliance on yahoo and google. We need to stop all
this domo, domo and sort out the issues that matter, death to KENIC.<br><br>Regards<br><br>Robert Yawe<br>
