Kenya - Internet and Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Paul Budde Communication Pty Ltd., Feb 2012, Pages: 23
Synopsis
The landing of three fibre-optic international submarine cables in Kenya, ending its dependency on limited and expensive satellite bandwidth, has revolutionised the country’s internet and broadband sector. Kenyas international internet bandwidth increased more than eleven-fold in 2011. Wholesale prices have fallen by more than 90%, finally taking the internet to the mass market.
Companies that started out as ISPs – such as AccessKenya, Kenya Data Networks and Wananchi – are transforming themselves into second-tier telecom companies by rolling out national and metropolitan fibre backbones and wireless broadband access networks, offering converged voice, data and video/entertainment services. At least six major deployments of WiMAX technology are underway, and third generation (3G) mobile broadband services have been launched. Advanced services such as IPTV/triple-play, e-commerce, e-learning and e-government are now rapidly evolving. In addition, with its new majority shareholder France Telecom, Telkom Kenya has embarked on a strategy to transform itself into a broadband connectivity provider under the Orange brand.
This report contains an overview and analysis of Kenya’s internet and broadband market, its emerging digital economy, profiles of the major players, relevant statistics, analysis, and internet user forecasts for 2013 and 2016.
