The launch of the new GSM network, alongside new mobile and broadband internet offers under the Orange brand is considered to be a decisive step in Telkom Kenya’s development.

Initially, broadband internet and mobile offers will be available in Nairobi and Mombassa only, but this will be progressively extended and rolled out across the whole country by the end of 2008. Additionally, with the arrival of undersea cables planned for 2009 and a pricing policy adapted to the country, Telkom Kenya is setting itself up to adopt a leadership position in broadband internet, according to Orange.
