<div>Edwin,</div><div><br></div><div>I also agree with you.100%</div><div><br></div><div>I beleive that the ISP's arent developing product for the common mwanainchi who want to spend less on Internet.</div><div><br></div>
<div>I have been observing the market and there are two potential products that come to my mind.</div><div><ol><li>Butterfly from KDN- this is indeed a great idea from KDN but the execution is poor.The internet keeps flactuating, Getting the top up cards is a hustle and further more their charging system isnt that good.</li>
<li>loopnet from KDN also a good idea for corporates who want to advertise via this free wifi but the lease period of 3 hrs isn't helping further more there are restriction as to how many people can connect at a time.</li>
</ol></div><div>WAN and MAN area local networks havent been exploited yet.</div><div><br></div><div>the ISP's need to change their strategy so that they can reach the masses.</div><div>Advice to them is that they move from the top of the pyramid and focus on the guys with wifi phones or notebooks.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ISPs have now teamed up and agreed that the cost of
"International" Internet access will not be coming down soon because
we have less than 2.6% penetration.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Ndemo, this is a slap on you, wield your big stick, or
sorry not possible you recently handed it over to Orange.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is only one solution to this issue lets concentrate in
developing local content thereby reducing the dependence on the over hyped marine
cable. But based on the discussions on the commodity exchange system this
will be an up hill task as we question the credibility of everyone he tries to
setup a local online application or service.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I read an article on how Hon. Kilonzo is planning to setup
green houses in all the schools in his constituency while the others are trying
to provide computers to children who are not able to get a balanced diet.
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Again I repeat "I am ashamed to be a member of the ICT
fraternity" but like was once said by a disgruntled KANU memebrr
"I shall remain the opposition within"</p>
