This is really great. Congratulations @ CA and the USF team. Could you please provide some details on the number of schools, public libraries, hospitals and other community service locations connected to the Internet through USF? Are they open to the public?

Hi GG, Barrack and All
Indeed. I confirm that connectivity in my counties (Kilifi and Lamu) has tremendously improved. Credit should indeed go to CA and the last mile service providers.

Hi GG,
Many thanks for the Video. I wish to commend the Communications Authority and the Service Providers for a great job in so far as Universal Access is confirmed. Over the past week i have been to Chawiya location (5000 feet hills in Wundanyi Taita Taveta) and Mwatate in Taita and was able to Watch news and entertain myself using my smartphone a testament of how far we have connected our country. I was amazed by the Infrastructure (roads and power) that has been extended to the top of the hills which has really transformed lives. The excitement in the eyes of the youth could tell it all. From Taita i moved on to Mombasa, Kilifi and Malindi and the connectivity is simply amazing to say the least. I have actually streamed this videos without any buffering. In conclusion Communication Network Coverage has greatly improved and as the DG says in the Video the journey of 1000 steps indeed starts with one step. Well done CA, well done service poviders.
Best Regards

Is the Universal Service Fund managed by the Communications Authority of Kenya and meant to improve connectivity in unserved and underserved areas bearing fruit?
