I talked about the some of the history of the Internet since in landed in Kenya (widely) around 1995 to-date as well as implications going forward where local content is concerned.

    I remember my first encounter with e-mail in Nairobi back in 1994 when this friend of mine told me about it and I couldn’t believe it.

    Indeed, we’ve come a long way!

      I didn’t see much “history”. Talk to Karanja Gakio and Ayisi Makatiani and others then you will have real history. Remember Shem Ochudho and ARCC??

        Jason, I know all of them. I worked at Africa Online for a few years. Indeed, one of the things I am thinking of doing is interviewing these personalities to get some perspectives on what it was like at the very beginning of Africa’s Internet services sector. Look out for updates later this year.
