that all this research is highly speculative and do disregard as
rubbish, as the info is quite limited to go by) .
My assessment puts Mocality as a data mining service to those who are
at the back-end of the system.
Then the questions started flowing.
1) Is the CCK aware of the data mining service?
2) Where is the data being held?
3) Is Mocality a licensed operation under the CCK guidelines as a
mobile services provider ?
4) Who has access to the data?
And my questions really started going downhill :
1) Why would Naspers and MIH develop such a system in KE? Agreed we
are a large mobile market but what's the local data got to do with
South African Companies?
2) The J2ME software obviously installed on the handset must have some
cookie that picks up info. Has the software been looked at and
approved locally?
As I said earlier, am not an expert on these issues but a whole
confused about the product. I hope clarifications are possible for the
general good of the public who use the services. I think Mocality are
doing an excellent job with their project, just hope that am very
wrong on the points raised so far by an amatuer like me.
