Zain Kenya, now owned by Bharti Airtel, is set to roll out 3G services in Kenya after it was granted a vlicence by the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK).
According to ITP.net, Charles Njoroge, director general of the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), said that he was optimistic that the introduction of a second 3G network would help lower the cost of mobile broadband and also lead to the development of new services.
Telkom Kenya also announced plans last week to set up a 3G network in the country, after the regulator reduced the cost of 3G licenses by 60% in a bid to encourage competition.
Zain Kenya, which is the country’s second biggest mobile operator after Safaricom, also competes with Orange Kenya and Essar Telecom Kenya.
