Kenya Telecoms Infrastructure, Operators, Regulations Statistics and Analyses 2017 - Research and MarketsThe "Kenya - Telecoms Infrastructure, Operators, Regulations - Statistics and Analyses" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering. Kenya's telecommunications market continues to undergo considerable changes in the wake of increased competition, improved international connectivity, and rapid developments in the mobile market. The landing of four fiber-optic international submarine cables in recent years dramatically reduced the cost of phone calls and internet access, allowing internet services to be affordable to a far greater proportion of the population. In parallel, the sector's regulator has reduced interconnection tariffs and implemented a range of regulations aimed at developing further competition. The incumbent fixed-line telco, Telkom Kenya, which was managed by Orange (News - Alert) Group from 2007 until it was sold to Helios in November 2015, has struggled to make headway in the compeitive market. A simplified and converged licensing regime introduced in 2008 has lowered the barriers to market entry and increased competition by allowing operators to offer any kind of service in a technology- and service-neutral regulatory framework. Numerous competitors are rolling out national and metropolitan fiber backbone networks and wireless access networks to deliver services to population centers across the country. Several fiber infrastructure sharing agreements have been forged, and as a result the number of fiber broadband connections increased 18% in 2016, year-on-year. Key Topics Covered: 2.
