Thanx all for your valuable comments yesterday on Innovations. We now kick-off Day 4 theme on Infrastructure and Universal access. Feel free to squeeze in belated questions on previous themes - as long as you keep the relevant subject line.
Safaricom has continued to expand its
network beyond urban areas. But what has been your experience of Safaricom
services in semi-urban and rural areas of Kenya?
a) Rural area:-Voice quality, Internet
Access(bandwidth), Mobile Money (MPESA)
b) Safaricom contributes to the Universal
Service Fund to extend communications to underserved areas- how has this
impacted your rural communities
c) The government has the National Optical Fiber Infrastructure, to what extend does Safcom use/not use it and why?
d) To provide services to under-served areas, the Universal Service Fund has been provision with Safaricom being the largest contributor, how effective is this fund?
It's a mix of questions and experiences. Floor is open till midnite today on this one. Lets hear you views.
