Antony Wachira, head of ICT at KAA tells me that they are at procurement stage. The service will be concessioned and will be available at JKIA and Moi Airport at a fee to users.

Robert, Wesley - I am attending a conference in Mombasa with the head of ICT at KAA - so I will mention this to him tomorrow and hear what he says. I agree its a problem. There should be pervasive airside and landside wireless, preferably free like in Singapore and Dubai airports.
 


And Rwanda!

*Sigh* I lack words on how to start this. I don't have to explain it. Can something be done ASAP so that JKIA can have free, fast WiFi Internet accessible everywhere (even from the toilets). Now, how can Kenya boast of broadband when the gateway to Africa (JKIA) has nothing to show of it. Imagine the very many passengers who use KQ (and other airlines) from all around Africa who pass by our airport: Company Directors, CEOs, CTOs, CFOs, ... Basically people who Kenya is trying to reach in order to attract investments in various sectors including IT. These are the same people going to invest in the rest of Africa. It's beyond my thinking why JKIA has never tapped into this even before the fibres came.

It's been a couple of months since I was there. Perhaps someone who was there more recently can give us an update on the current situation. I sure hope it has changed.
