It's a fact that Safaricom applied in 2015 for the broadcast license and CA has delayed to provide the same. https://www.nation.co.ke/business/CA-to-delay-broadcasting-permits/996-47650... On Tue, 6 Nov 2018, 08:51 Collins Areba via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke wrote:
What is a Digital broadcast license?
I believe Safaricom has an ASP license, and digital broadcast of TV should be covered in that. I blame the Journalist on this one….

What gives? 3 years to get a license? What is going on?
Safaricom says it will seek answers from the telecoms regulator over the three-year delay in issuance of its digital broadcast licence, chief executive Bob Collymore has said.
The telco is seeking to venture into commercial free-to-air television services as part of triple-play offering plan–TV, internet and fixed line telephone services – to homes.
I thought Kenya adopted a Unified License Regime <https://www.bowmanslaw.com/insights/technology-media-and-telecommunications/telecom-regulation-kenya-introduces-a-unified-licensing-framework/> way back when... What happened to this?
Can the regulator please inform Kenyans what exactly is holding up Safaricom's license? I'm not holding brief for Safaricom but I think this is a public interest issue.
