Ça concerne tous les téléphones. Ils n'ont aucun moyen de savoir où le téléphone a été acheté. Ils se basent sur l'IMEI et demandent aux importateurs d'enregistrer l'IMEI de CHAQUE téléphone importé! 9r, les tels chinois ont tous le même IMEI. 1/..
2/ Les opérateurs telcos vont envoyer un fichier avec des dizaines de millions de données à une société inconnue avec un mode de sécurité inconnu. Cette société va traiter les données et voir si ce téléphone a déjà été déclaré comme étant dédouané. Pour les téléphones sans...
3/ Sans IMEI, la société parle de faire une 'triangulation' utilisant d'autres éléments pour lui donner un compte. Cette méthode n'est pas techniquement fiable. Cela voudra dire que nombreux téléphones dédouanés normalement se verront absents de cette liste et seront facturés...
4/ Ensuite, toujours cette société tiers va calculer le droit de douane sur le valeur sortie d'usine du téléphone. C'est a dire mon Samsung S5 que j'ai acheté en seconde main en 2015 a une valeur de 400k CFA sortie d'usine, vaut peut-être 50k aujourd'hui mais droits à 120k CFA...
5/Cette société tiers va ensuite envoyer un fichier à mon opérateur en lui disant de prendre les 120.000 francs CFA sur mon crédit de téléphone par tranche tous les jours.
6/ Pour faire ses analyses, cette société qui, jusqu'ici n'a pas la moindre présence sur le Web, ne demontre aucune expérience dans le domaine, devra avoir des centaines de millions de données venant des telcos. Comment seront gérées ces données? Sécurisées où? Revendues?..
7/Ensuite qu'est ce qui empêchera l'état d'utiliser cette même plateforme pour ponctionner le crédit de plus de 20 millions d'abonnés pour n'importe quel autre raison?

Cette mesure est dangereuse.

Merci à tous pour les infos ‘en off’ sur ce nouveau prélèvement douanier.

Les opérateurs doivent passer par une société privée intermédiaire qui s’appelle ARINTECH CAMEROON.

A qui appartient cette société? Payée comment? Comment seront sécurisées les données?
@L1nconnue fait ton FBI, pardon.

Whenever I see official info coming from China, I pause. They have the best propaganda machine on the planet. So even during this #COVID2019 crisis, I find myself questioning everything.

Let me share a short story of why.
A few years ago, went to China for a business trip to a resort town. Everything was perfect. Most beautiful airport I had ever seen, roads, cleanliness, infrastructure but few people. We had a ‘minder’ accompany us everywhere. She knew our entire bios. Super friendly and helpful.
This we were taken to a five star resort by the beach which had everything, including a full basketball court. We were there with a number of top CEOs, most of whom had flown in private. One of them challenged my travel companion to a basketball shootout but he didn’t have shoes.

A sad day in our community when a shady startup founder uses law enforcement to intimidate and threaten former team members more than a year and a half after they left.

Don’t worry. I will give you all the details.... flying algorithms won’t keep me from tweeting.
Petit, là où tu viens de mettre les pieds, j'espère que tu seras capable d'assumer. Comme tu dis qu'ils t'ont fait perdre 25 millions de chiffre d'affaires, tu vas nous montrer ce CA là. Ils ont volé ton d. Tu vas nous montrer l'usine de fabrication où tu as fabriqué le d là.
Tu admets même que tu leur doit 4 mois de salaire. Tu prends une liasse de 1 million, tu jette sur la table, 'ce n'est pas l'argent qui me manque. Tu me donnes mes 25 millions en dommages et intérêts et je te paye ton salaire." Insolent!

Jumia shut down its Cameroon operations this morning, firing its entire staff, no public announcement, no special word from the group or its CEO. The brutality of the news to the staff echoes their management style and is, I believe, one of the reasons for its demise.
I watched this company from inception. When a young lady, newly arrived from France, was sent to start the Cameroon ops for Africa Internet Holdings, a @RocketBerlin subsidiary. I was introduced to her and of course knew Rocket. I was excited that they chose to come to Cameroon.
She was super young, and this was her first trip to Cameroon and really her first real job. She was very dynamic and I wanted to help. I offered her the use of my conference room at @AppsTech free of charge to help launch the company.

1/ I want to share the tragic story of one of Africa’s most brilliant minds in tech.

A thread.
2/ By the time he was 25, he had already obtained a doctorate in Electronic Engineering from City University in London. He was then recruited by a top tech firm in California. So many people, Americans, Europeans, asked me if I knew this Cameroonian genius. I was so intrigued.
3/ Back then, there weren’t that many of us that were successful in IT in America. I finally met him through my cousin, another genius, who worked with him and they were simply stars.
