Future of LTE in Africa: http://manypossibilities.net/2014/01/africas-lte-future/ Looking forward to voice over LTE.

It's the same reason that you'll notice no Europeans or Americans ever respond to notes complaining about the state of ICT in Kenya (even though the list has many of them) - they're afraid they'll be accused of racism. I personally think that there is no fundamental reason that the Kenyan ICT sector can't compete with those of other countries so I try to just say it like I see it. The lack of 4G being on the roadmap is bad for the country's ICT future, the lack of ability to hire foreign workers is bad for the entire corporate sector, etc... and if people don't complain, nothing will change. And if you reduce the number of people allowed to complain to only those who were born here - then even less will happen. > -- > Kili - Cloud for Africa: kili.io > Musings: twitter.com/varud > More Musings: varud.com > About Adam: www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson > > > On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 12:26 PM, James Mbugua <jgmbugua(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Adam, > Because of the limited spectrum, CCK had sought a joint approach, a consortium of sorts similar to TEAMS to rollout LTE.

4G status
by Adam Nelson 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

What's the status with 4G these days in Kenya? Is it totally stalled? I just found out that Uganda offers 4G from at least one carrier with 2 or more on the way shortly. Since I can't seem to convince many people on this list to be Internationalists, maybe I can at least appeal to raw national competition to spur movement by the Kenyan authorities/telecoms to catch up to Uganda?
