wow! "Open Access" is music to many no just my ears.

I wish you failure at selling Telkom this way, honestly. That said, could you allow me to organise a Special Purpose Truck for Kenyan consumers to invest in Telkom more money that the Shs. 5 Billion? Fast tracking (READ get round) NSE rules?

Thanks.

Dear Alex, Telkon will not own Teams. The Government of Kenya will own 40% stake in the Teams SPV while regional operators and investors will own 45%. The remaining 15% shall be owned by Etisalat. The Government shall ensure open access in both Teams and the Terrestrial Networks to enable both large and small enterprises to compete.

Do not worry about the sale of TKL since we have not sold it yet and we shall not sell it if the deal is not good.

Ndemo.
