Are we blaming the government for Kenya not having a ready enough data centre to host the data. Let he who has a data centre capable enough to host the open data come forth and say "naomba serikali inisaidie" If none, go ye and work hard enough for the next data sets. <br>

Francis<br><br>Thanks for the heads up on the Infocom information. It just goes to show what an enlightened and forward thinking government in partnership with the private sector can achieve. <br><br>@ Barrack, I do agree that local hosting is eventually the best bet to go and I do hope that all of us will play a part in it instead of relying on some amorphous being to take us there....Hence my challenge to all of us...<br>

All I can say is - We live in a Global Village.<br>
<br>
I honestly believe that this is a wake-up call for Local Service Providers. However in defence of them the investment required to set up and run a Rackspace calibre service is huge...but so are the returns... So my question to us in the private sector is who will step up? Or should we wait for the Min of Info-comm to lead the way like they did with the undersea cable?<br>
<br>
Do I hear KDN; Wananchi; Safaricom; Airtel; Orange et al pick up the gauntlet?<br>

<br>
All I will one up on Francis and Ali why wouldn't a Google for example not have dedicated IDCs built in Kenya considering said centers could then serve east africa and yes it does matter where the data is hosted legally if such data were to be subpoenaed for whatever reason then if hosted in US they would have to be produced hence implications of jurisdiction matter in that the datacenter is located within US jurisdiction and must therefore abide by the laws.<br>
