Telecoms crisis in Kenya

Filed under: Africa - old blog — Ethan @ 3:43 pm

Ory has a good post on the sacking of the Communications Commission of Kenya board. I’m still trying to digest email I’m getting from friends on the situation. I don’t see any way to read the situation as anything other than a disaster. The CCK has been taking useful steps lately to ensure that Kenya’s internet policies make sense and match international standards. This is a huge, and scary, step backwards. I’ll post more as I understand more.
