I'm not a fan of Safaricom's sh2 per
minute billing system. IMHO, I find Orange way cheaper and faster than Safaricom: Orange
charges sh. 110 for 100MB. But anyway, I guess we don't have that many users in
Orange...

The best option is we use connectify software and the safaricom new
billing rate of unlimited browsing/download the rates are 2sh a minute
and they don't restrict the data bundles as long as you are subscribed
so guys will still facebook, tweet, and edit wikipedia. In my
calculation 600SH will last us 5 hours. If you agree to this then it
will now be the issue of venue. Alex can sort that out I am sure

Hi guys,
To probably add onto Oscar's suggestion,the ideos can support upto 9 users
at a time but this should not be a worry,since there is a software called
connectify which is freeware.The software is purported to turn any laptop
running on windows 7 into a hotspot.But the 'hotspot' needs to be connected
to the internet and then from there other users can log in with a password
given by the admin of the hotspot.
The only advantage is,It is not limited to number of users.
Finding another venue without wifi connection would be a cinch if we had our
own internet.
Thank you and have a good day.
Regards.
