<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I like your suggestion. I agree- let us look at the
next 10 years, review where we are, evaluate any shortfalls and come up with
possible suggestions. We have evolved but we could be further. As Brian
mentioned, this can be taken to the higher level once determined.I'd like
to see more than 10 companies winning global competitions (why not?), lower
Internet rates with greater speeds, many more innovations (because we have what
it takes). My take is that we can do much more- let us up our game.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Harry/Gilda Et all,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Following this whole discussion I can help but conclude the country have
moved to a different stage in the development of the ICT sector. In the past
we came together because there were major issues we needed to deal with. The
face 2 face was even important to ensure we framed the issues well for the
stakeholders.</DIV>
<DIV>
<UL>
<LI>We have a policy framework in place (an evolving one)
<LI>The market is competitive (call rates and internet rates are low)
<LI>We are leading in innovations in mobile money globally (mpesa)
<LI>iHub and other open community spaces are doing well - look at the <A
href="http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/MLab++gets+Sh1+31+billion+financial+boost+/-/1248928/1380044/-/t1p59dz/-/index.html"
target=_blank>mlab</A> Content and other funding (Billions of
shillings)
<LI>John Waibochi is winning global competitions with virtual city
<LI>Cables landed - 4G and evolving
<LI>etc ....
<LI>We still have some legacy issues (Telkom and Posta) - But we know there
are qualified people dealing with them amongst others </LI></UL>
<DIV>Am not saying things are perfect, only that we have not identified
an obvious national cross cutting issue to rally everyone around. Konza is a
great but most people I have talked to are not clear how to engage (yet they
do not want to be left out).</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>May I propose an action for this list. Paint a picture of Kenya's ICT
sector in 2020. By this I mean, what do we all think Kenya's ICT sector
will/can look like in next 10 years.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This will allow each of us to reflect of what we are doing today and how
we can impact that vision of tomorrow.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Joe</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>My view is we have exhausted discussions on setting a suitable framework
and what we need is to move to the next level</DIV>

it is a cultural thing here. Many people would rather write directly to

Gilda. However, it may be useful to hear from some lurkers as to why
they are not active participants of the forum (there is not so much from
the sisters :)). Maybe there is something that can be done to allow for
more participation? I have for example received
comments off-list when I have moderated debates, and my
question to those listers is that it would be nice for them to raise the
very good comments here on this forum. Again, the aim is to strengthen
the forum and have it continue to remain relevant.

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<BR><BR>My name is Ben Akoh and I am
one of many lurkers on this list, and on many<BR>others. I am
not Kenyan, I have visited the country several times, I
will<BR>be visiting it in the next month, I love it, its people,
and have very<BR>good friends there.<BR><BR>I participated in
one of the earlier public forums that helped to
shape<BR>Kictanet and that fed into the numerous fiber
initiatives to which you and<BR>most of us now enjoy: directly
when we visit the country, and indirectly<BR>when we interact
with good people like yourselves who continue to pave the<BR>way
for how public consultation can shape future growth and
development.<BR><BR>My comments are along three lines:<BR><BR>1.
The benefits of lurkers: Being a lurker is not necessary a bad
thing.<BR>Some of us continue to benefit from this list and
learn good practices<BR>that inform public policy in many other
areas. For instance, the Kictanet<BR>model is replicated across
several national discussion lists in West<BR>Africa and have
been suggested as a useful model for public consultation<BR>on
policy issues. Lurkers benefit through propagate the good
dialogues<BR>that emanate from this group in other forums beyond
yours. See this as<BR>Kenya's export to the knowledge and
information economy.<BR><BR>2. Questioning is good: Seeking ways
through which this forum would become<BR>more relevant is also
not necessarily a bad thing. Questioning leads
to<BR>improvement. The day that every member of this group
thinks that the list<BR>has arrived (group think), is the day it
begins to slowly die a death.<BR>Thus, a constant review, as
someone mentioned, against Kictanet's initial<BR>objectives is a
good starting point; documenting its progress over the<BR>years
through careful research (as another person mentioned) is
also<BR>important. But significant consideration should be given
to the medium of<BR>delivery and how this is relevant to
the context of the times. "The medium<BR>is the message"
(Marshall McLuhan). The medium should thus respond to
the<BR>demands of the time. Considerations should be given to
those for whom<BR>policy is deliberated but who do not have
access to deliberate in its<BR>present form.<BR><BR>3. Kicktanet
is one of several model that works: I am currently
finalizing<BR>a toolkit (ebook and wiki) of several models that
have worked for<BR>generating evidence and for seeking consent
of those whom policy will<BR>affect using case studies of good
practice models implemented across the<BR>world. Kictanet
and this discussion list is featured prominently as one
of<BR>them. I hope to share the outcome of this research once it
has been<BR>published.<BR><BR>In sum, all these go to say
that:<BR><BR>1. The list is useful to both lurkers and active
members.<BR>2. Its influence transcends Kenya and contributes to
shaping policy and<BR>policy consultation beyond its
borders.<BR>3. The medium should respond to the dynamic context
of communication<BR>technologies, and cater to the local context
as well as the growing needs<BR>of its audience - present and
future. It should therefore be shaped<BR>accordingly.<BR><BR>My
two bob.<BR><BR>Ben<BR>A lurker.<BR><BR><BR>On Thu, April 12,
2012 8:59 am, Evans Ikua wrote:<BR>> Now that we have to
weigh in, I think this is an important list that it<BR>>

have issues, and they have a good place and forum to air
their<BR>> concerns and opinion relating to the
industry.<BR>><BR>> As for the lurkers, they are also good
to have. As someone said, one will<BR>> always speak out when
their area of interest is mentioned and they have an<BR>>
