<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">*the survey was done with 400 pax via sms – this already creates a bias as your average person will unlikely respond by sms (so the
poll reached an elite group!). A national representative sample makes more sense or atleast on the ground surveys to reach those unlikely to use sms for surveys<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">*there is a difference between awareness vs action. Ofcourse with all the noise, awareness levels are high, action is low as I see
56% of your sample has taken NO ACTION (if this is extrapolated to the 40+million Kenyans it’s a huge number even with the sample bias I pointed out above). So “action” is what we should focus on and not awareness.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">*the reasons for not switching over are also quite instructive (see the the pie-chart on slide 13)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">This last point “reasons for not switching over” is the crux of the matter! And that is where our energies should be concentrated
and keep in mind the bias issue knowing that millions have not taken action.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Indeed there can never be enough education and awareness but that is not to say CA has not done anything. We have had roadshows, market activations
all over the country, advertisements in the print and electronic media, digital platforms, and even door to door campaigns in Nairobi in December. Certainly the advertising was challenged by the fact that the three media houses would not take any paid advertisements
or publish any factual information on digital migration . This limited the reach quite a bit. The campaigns were aligned to the phased switch off and so we are still doing the rounds. We need all efforts from all ‘convertees’ so any proposals on how you
can reach your constituencies on our behalf would be great!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">In addition, see the poll results from Geo Poll, the largest pollster in Africa. This was released in January. It will give you a glimpse on
the level of awareness on this issue. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Also be sure to check our social media pages Face Book:
<b>DigitalTVkenya</b> and Twitter: <b>digitalTVkenya</b> . You will be amazed that people are so much aware and are having active discussions on the subject matter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">But admittedly, we need to do more especially as the deadline approaches.
