<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">While this is great to share, the average Kenyan has NO clue what we’re talking about, why they need to move, what they need to get
in terms of STB, where, prices etc. The list you’ve sent is very technical, how can you simplify it for the common person and even for those alittle more techy, how do I know which model is better etc. The specs don’t make sense to the common person.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
