Moses,
You have highlighted pertinent issues that I believe the government bodies mandated with developing and driving the digital media should focus on. The low level of internet connectivity among the populace is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to the growth of this industry. Also timely with the landing of the fibre optic. I wonder if this ‘war’ among the ISPs and mobile companies will trickle down to benefit the common mwananchi. Congrats on the awards, brother!
@judith – thanks for the feedback! Just checked your blog, great advice about what it REALLY takes to be a successful freelancer. Clearly, its not very straight forward and requires planning to succeed.
Thanks for the heads-up and stopping by my blog. Yap, freelancing is a business like any other only that you are dealing with a service and your office is found in your house (bedroom, garage, attic, kitchen top). It is tough especially here in Kenya but businesses are slowly beginning to see the value of a freelance professional especially in this economic climate.
