<div>Is our media truly independent, objective and fearless as they claim - especially when it comes to reporting on their most lucrative customers? <span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Compare to the prominence and coverage of reports on Government website downtime, as well as Huduma downtimes for example... </span></span><br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>My take is, when you have an entity (or group of entities) that the media appears to "fear" or "favor" more than the Government, the potential for impunity and abuse that comes with such power should be of great concern to any regulator. At the very least, it can allow public interest problems (or their impact) to stay under the radar for a long time with a heavy cost to the wider economy.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>A healthy (and free) media should have well diversified revenue streams such that there is minimum conflict of interest that is potentially attributable to the concentration of market power. Yet another solid reason (imo) for modernization of our anti-trust regulations.</div><div><br></div><div>====</div><div>I wonder if the CCTVs are affected.. hopefully there is a proper continuity plan in place. </div><div><br></div><div>====</div><div>As stated in my earlier email just a few days ago, dominant players should be mandated by law to demonstrate adequate provision for continuity and resiliency across all economic sectors where they are active - with independent audits, certification and testing of their BCP, DRP etc - the frequency of which should be aligned with potential severity of downtimes.</div><div><br></div><div>====</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Have a great weekend!</div><div>Patrick.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div>
