Google Setting Up a Presence In Kenya
Reader wana forwards the news that Google is establishing a base in Sub-Saharan Africa. What advanced infrastructure exists on the African continent is mostly in South Africa, and a blogger from there speculates on what Google might have been thinking in choosing Kenya over SA.
"Google understands that this is an impediment and is willing to go to the extent of buying international bandwidth that locals don't have to pay the current considerable premium they are."
free/cheap bandwidth for africa, fairplay to google! wonder what evil master plan is behind this idea?
Not to be rude to anybody, but I've heard government corruption is a bigger problem in Kenya than South Africa...
Guys you come to Kenya for a few months then pretend to be experts about African life. Any idiot can guess theres more corruption in US and Asia than Africa and the numbers are far bigger than you think. Being from UK infact UK is more corrupt and you are the guys who stole from Africa and murdered Africans while building your country. You have the blood of slave traders and murderers and criminals in you. So dont pretend to be the nice guy here. I would rather here crap from an American than a British idiot. Also this post was about Technology and google setting up base in Kenya. What has kenyan food got to do with it? I love Kenya and Kenyan food.
