I have never been this happy and for once we have done something that takes us closer to vision 2030 as a country.

Today KDN announces a price slash of 92% on its data services.The company i work for was paying 99,000sh for a 256kbps link....now we shall pay KDN 40,000sh for a 1Mbps link per month.....imagine that!

We shall also enter Wimax.......and here i see Access Kenya and UUNET dying.
Safaricom and KDN.....thats where you should invest....


I also see better days ahead for the BPO industry,I see jobs and finally Kencall might be in a position to be profitable and pay their employees.

Today is a great day in ICT.

I think you might be interested in a similar topic on my blog http://blog.mediaeffects.net/?p=5#comments. This thread discusses the fiber optic technology and what it portends for Kenya. The 21 comments include a number by Dr Bitange Ndemo himself. He is,in my opinion,the kind of guy we should have as president. Just read his comments on my blog and you will understand why I say this.

@Birdman - is that for INTERNATIONAL connectivity or local? The submarine fibre is not yet connected - just the terrestrial segment.

Anyway,there are good signs that with open access on TEAMs (unlike SEACOM who would like to 'fix' prices) that all Kenyans,esp in the education sector will immensely benefit from TEAMs. KDN have fibre from Mombasa to Busia and will link with Ugandan operators so they can benefit from TEAMS.

And YES! Dr Ndemo has moved ICT in leaps and bounds in the few years he has been PS.

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@Djinn,

We are having a KDN guy come over today and explain further coz i also thought that it had not been connected internationally yet.They made the offer to us and there is even something of the effect in todays Daily Nation page 29.

But if he drops by I will let you know more. Im thinking they are maybe lowering their prices early before price wars start....they can bank on their fibre network all across the country.

Honestly when they started digging trenches in town and in estates.....even in my shagz in Nyeri i thought they were nuts!Now i see why Kai Wolf is who he is. I also salute Ndemo. We need more of such people.

What amount should we expect to pay for 24/7 home internet given the above figures?
