Safaricom data wars
140m Startups Incubation
Smartphone OSShift to online

Business daily is on technology today.


So safaricom is getting ready.Orange realized this early on. I'm waiting for analysts to be overwhelmed by analyzing data revenues for safaricom. So who's going to monetize on IT.There's no fighting it anymore.

Distribution systems in Kenya - If online shopping is to work in Kenya and deliveries,I see boda bodas being very important. They're all over.When someone comes up with a system that can coordinate boda bodas to deliver things,s/he will be rich. Everyone wins.You get deliveries,they get money,fewer physical businesses.

And power companies like Kengen are expected to reap handsomely coz of the demand for power.

Not necessarily.Konza might attract solar and other green energy initiatives.

[quote=selah]Craft Silicon one of the biggest software companies in Kenya is relocating to Singapore after what the CEO and founder termed as harsh & unfavorable operating environment.

Quote:
“The cost of doing business in Kenya is not favourable to the software industry, taxes are way above the small technology companies,” Budhabhatti said. “We have settled on Singapore for their better incentives that are pro-software developers.”

Damn is this for real?Any Craft Silicon insider?Though not perfect, I think this was one of the best software firms in Kenya.It is sad that such a company can relocate due to unfavorable operating environment while we are talking about Konza.

I agree.On the one hand such a big software company leaving Kenya might mean its market share might be broken up and eaten by smaller institutions. My bet on IT is simple,we're investing heavily into it.Movements will be made for this investment to start yielding returns.

@ChessMaster--Solar to power an entire city you are dreaming.
Tech equipments which includes servers consume alot of power so don't expect solar to power them.
Solar power in Kenya is mostly for domestic use.

Green is mean. Its breaking all the rules. I assure you,some investor somewhere is thinking of how s/he is going to milk solar from Konza. As you say,they consume a lot of power.

'The IT revolution must be green'. I find this thought most intriguing. But then it's all too clear!

Yes, IT is smelling of lots of goodies, but I doubt constructing a technocity like Konza is the way to go.

Why? Because no one knows how IT will mutate. For example, we shouldn't want to replicate the silicon valley because of time, and condition differences.

But then Konza can still be very useful.
