		<description><![CDATA[I made it a habit a few months ago to always be carrying an unscratched Bamba 50. Lots of people thought it was hilarious, not understanding why I didn&#8217;t just redeem them right when I bought them. There are many reasons, but yesterday, it was nothing other than an unused Bamba 50 which saved the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Using mobile broadband with Linux in Kenya just keeps getting easier and easier. The days of manually editing text files and dialing with wvdial on the command line seem to be over. For some time now (in Ubuntu at least) it&#8217;s been sufficient enough to just plug in your modem or phone then setup your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I use a Safaricom-branded Huawei E160 USB modem to connect to the Internet over 3G from my apartment in Westlands. It works great but Safaricom has locked the device so it only works on their network (an anti-consumer move they probably learned from the likes of AT&#38;T). We have four different mobile providers in Kenya, [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not every day you see cars driving on the wrong side of the road, and the Westlands traffic jam never backs up all the way to Safaricom headquarters. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written a few times about using GPRS with Linux in Kenya. First I was using Safaricom&#8217;s &#8220;Bambanet&#8221; USB device, which was merely a re-branded Huawei e220. A few months after that I sold the Bambanet and was using a Nokia 2630 over Bluetooth wireless. Last month I upgraded to a Nokia 5130 XpressMusic, and [...]]]></description>

Just the other day Safaricom announced record profits for the past year, making it the most profitable company in all of East AND Central Africa. As astonishing as the announcement is, I&#8217;m not surprised (I come from the United States, where many corporations are among the largest &#8220;economies&#8221; [...]]]></description>

Luckily Safaricom, one of the local cell phone companies, just rolled out 3G technology across Kenya. My cell phone isn&#8217;t very fancy so I picked [...]]]></description>
