For those who may have missed, the Communications Authority recently released the Quarter 2 Sector Statistics Report. 

Notably, CA revised its data collection template in a bid to meet data requirements by various stakeholders.

The report notes that CA shared a manual on definitions and methodologies of collecting and reporting Telecommunication indicators with service providers and the public for purposes of common understanding of ICT indicators. The manual was developed in consultation with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and is available on here: https://ca.go.ke/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ICT-Indicators-Manual-2019-.pdf

The Quarter 2 Sector Statistics Report provides an overview of the performance and trends of the ICT sector for the period 1st October to 31st December 2019.

It further notes an increase in cyber threats, and a decrease in .ke domain names from the previous quarter to stand at 91,940. However, it was recently reported on this list that the domain names have now hit the 100, 000 mark. Meaning that the situation has improved in the last three months. 

And amazing-- people are still sending out letters which rose to 10.5 million letters compared to 9.6 million letters sent between July and September 2019. This was attributed to the sending of success cards to candidates undertaking national exams, and I suspect christmas cards.
