This comes at a time when the total number of .KE domain registrations has remained stagnant at around 100,000 for several years, despite previous efforts to spur growth through price reductions. This blog explores the implications of the price adjustment, analyzes the competition faced by .KE domains, and evaluates the challenges and opportunities for KeNIC in a competitive domain market. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts/kenyas-cctld-kenic-increases-domain-registration-and-transfer-fees" class="red"><span class="readmore">more</span></a> </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/7252" class="blue">Mwendwa Kivuva</a></li> <li>Jan 28, 2025</li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 7,918</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="https://circleid.com/posts/20191007_kenya_dot_ke_domain_nearing_100000_registration_mark">Kenya’s .KE Domain Registrations Nearing 100,000 Mark, but It Can Do Better – Here’s Why</a></h3> <div class="byLine">Related Topics: <a href="/topics/domain_names" class="red">Domain Names</a>,  <a href="/topics/internet_governance" class="red">Internet Governance</a>,  <a href="/topics/registry_services" class="red">Registry Services</a>,</div> <p> Over the years, the Kenyan Network Information Center (KeNIC) has struggled to reach the 100,000 mark in .ke Kenya country code domain registrations. Many reasons have been given for this shortfall, among them pricing, competition from generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) like .com and .org, and also competition from Geographic domains like the new .africa. Also, not opening up the second level for registration has been cited as one of the reasons for the low number. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts/20191007_kenya_dot_ke_domain_nearing_100000_registration_mark" class="red"><span class="readmore">more</span></a> </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/7252" class="blue">Mwendwa Kivuva</a></li> <li>Oct 07, 2019</li> <li>Comments: 3</li> <li>Views: 9,909</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="https://circleid.com/posts/20160825_afpif_brings_together_internet_players">AfPIF Brings Together Internet Players</a></h3> <div class="byLine">Related Topics: <a href="/topics/access_providers" class="red">Access Providers</a>,  <a href="/topics/broadband" class="red">Broadband</a>,  <a href="/topics/cloud_computing" class="red">Cloud Computing</a>,  <a href="/topics/data_center" class="red">Data Center</a>,  <a href="/topics/ipv6-transition" class="red">IPv6 Transition</a>,  <a href="/topics/ipv4-markets" class="red"> IPv4 Markets</a>,  <a href="/topics/policy_regulation" class="red">Policy & Regulation</a>,  <a href="/topics/telecom" class="red">Telecom</a>,</div> <p> If you are passionate about ICT policy, Peering, and Interconnection, then the Africa Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF) is the place to be.
