Ntuthuko Sambo (SANReN)

Description

It is not often we see a government department deviate from a state entity mandated by law to oversee their ICT affairs, due to dissatisfaction from alleged low quality of service, at least not in South Africa. This talk takes the audience through a short anecdote of what happens when an instrumental government department finally approaches an NREN to "solve" their ICT systems problems.

What will the TNC audience take away from your talk

This talk is aimed at sparking a debate for the audience whether Governments should build strong ICT capacity from within, or outsource this capacity to non-Governmental organisations who specialise in the enviroment and focus on governing.
