Internet has currently emerged as the driving force of
business functions without which no commerce operations in East Africa and in
particular Kenya. It is saddening the recent damaging of the undersea cable
connecting East Africa with the rest of the world. This has been caused by the rupturing
of the fiber optic cable by a ship anchor off the Kenyan coast. It raises more
questions since the ship was anchoring at a restricted area.
Amazingly, this has been a week with high internet rush
which has forced safaricom outlets to sell an empty shelves for the 3-G modems.
Safaricom is one of Kenya’s biggest telecommunication provider which boasts of
high speed data connectivity, but could there be better speeds than what they
offer? This calls for more investors in data connectivity/internet provision.
Many people are becoming tech savvy with the reduction of
illiteracy levels and this posses a great challenge due to the increased
market. Moreover, high technology gadgets are in high demand which calls for
increased supply.
With the e-enterprising of even most of government functions
and the changing business and applications environment, people need to access
services with just a button click. Programmers and modern application
developers should up their efforts and cash on this increased need in
communication.
