make more prudent sense to liberalise (away from the current Kenic monopoly)
the Kenya ccTLD and have it open to other entrepreneurs? I am not sure there is
any reason why a cartel should retain the right to run this critical resource
at the expense of other Kenyans. Is it just me or someone else also sees the illogic
of charging Ksh. 3000 for a domain in an era where other domain names are
available for as little as Ksh.500. I know this has been said in this forum but
isn�t it time action was taken�Dr. PS?</span></p>

I was� going through an article in the East African standard with the
above mentioned title by the CEO of� KIXP published on Sunday Dec�
2009 in the East African Standard, am� wondering is there a business case
other than the security considerations highlighted� that justifies the
GIXP and if we could be allowed to access it or is it classified info?, in
addition the writer has mentioned the Strengths of KIXP however i would also appreciate
to know the weaknesses since they might justify the need for GIXP bearing in
mind the fact that we are just coming out of the woods in so far as monopolies
are concerned as i try to digest the article in any case having gone through <a href="http://www.bgp4.as/internet-exchanges" target="_blank">http://www.bgp4.as/internet-exchanges</a>
it is evident there are a few developed countries with more that one Exchange
point eg South Africa , the US, Sweden, Singapore, Russia and the UK, somebody
educate me.<br>
