“It is with this same spirit that we will be launching a video streaming solution that we not only hope will spur an uptake on the use of video communication to fill the ICT infrastructures that have already been laid down by many players in the communication sector but shall also influence some of our Chinese counterparts back in China to come experience the beauties that this great country has to offer as we will broadcast some of Kenya’s tourist sites live to over 200 Million viewers” said Yu.
