So, as you might have guessed from my earlier post about ADSL price hikes here in Kenya, I was mightily aggrieved at the time. I decided to send a version of my blog post to The Register to see if they were interested in the story. As it happens, they weren’t particularly, but they did get back to me with the following email:
Hello David.
Apologies for taking so long to get back to you.
Your tip is interesting, but I don’t think it is / was newsworthy for readers outside your country.
FYI we have approx. 4m readers a month - 75 per cent in US, UK and Canada. Around 10K readers a month hail from Kenya.
Best wishes

It’s interesting to know that so many Kenyans read this technology website. I was quite impressed by this figure.
