Internet is bound to get cheaper in Kenya as KPLC joins in. KPLC will no longer be hiring its poles to other companies but will instead use them to reach its new customers.
KPLC has the option of using Fiber Optics or Broadband Over Power Lines (BPL), lets wait and see kama watawezana.

All the best. If they get their shit, this will be massive.
This needs to happen already! I hope it’ll be more reliable than their power service.
This they were to do 5 years ago
If they cannot provide us with stable letricity what of Internet? Hiyo internet itakuwa inapotea kama hizi stima zao, bullshit idea for KPLC. Anyway wacha wajaribu
Wametangaza hii upus miaka ngapi sasa? The best they can do is incorporate a separate entity to distribute internet then outsource the management to a private firm but retain overall control. Otherwise wakiimanage wao wenyewe itakuwa shitty services through and through. BTW sahii kwa mitaa some small fiber resellers are using KPLC poles to distribute internet, I don’t know if they pay the power company ama ni deal za chini ya maji.
They announced the Damn same thing like 7 years ago… I was so excited then…
Hii hekaya ya miaka kama 6 hivi nyuma we are still waiting…
i keep wondering too
watatumia resources za tax payers kuwakamua,
We used to use them for overhead backbone kutoka Mombasa to Kanairo way back sijui kama bado my former employer anawatumia .
If we sign SLA, I am in.
Wire kutoka coast hadi nrb, hio ni pesa ngapi mlutumia kwa hio project.
Hahaha 7 years kitu gani, this thing they have been yapping about from about 2000AD.
Anyway accorig to them, it has been operational from 2010AD. Sijui if this revenue is stated in their accounts ama it is reflected somewhere in Jersey Island or maybe Panama.

This is the same company that’s in the process of begging Treasury for a bailout.
How does a company that’s completely failed at its core mandate engage in another expensive venture?
