Yes, possibly...I actually looking at it from the geographical spread, security of the fiber given the many incidents of vandalism we have witnessed over the recent past and possibly the cost that the like of Safaricom can access the fiber for. The last time I spoke to someone from KPLC he indicated that it costs them a third what other digger pays to lay their fiber. Just a hunch, I know this is your forte!

MM,
At the data operator level, they seem like a game changer to me.
Kindest Regards Harry

Safaricom is one of those interested to use the fibre Note that kplc is not entering the telecom consumer market Cheers MM

This is a very interesting development, bringing to fore the potential that KPLC have as a game changer with its fiber.
