<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It is encouraging to read such factual statistics
from CCK. I don't know how many of you read an article in one of
yesterday's dailies talking of a report which gave Kenya such poor
global ranking in Internet usage (or was it ICT?)- 136th out of 142 or something
like that. It was shocking and obviously incorrect. It further said Kenya had
dropped 14 rankings down in some other ICT usage statistics.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If anyone has it maybe you could share this
with CCK so they can maybe send this firm the correct country
position.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am wondering whether some of these research
institutions are paid to say anything their sponsors want to see.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And if they are on this list, could you share with
us how you came to your findings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Kind regards,</FONT></DIV>
