[Kictanet] impact

[Joseph Mucheru]

As you may have noted, TKL are in the fore front in bringing this technology
to the country and they will therefore not only benefit as investors, they
will also significantly reduce the cost of their bandwidth. Today they have
to pay satellite providers very high fees and therefore they also charge
higher prices. It will be a win win for all concerned including the
customer.
