[kictanet] Kenya's Safaricom says to test 4G later in 2010

[Dorcas Muthoni]

Very welcome...LTE or call it 4G will be very good for the last mile, we
need it here! We are speaking about insanely fast speeds … potential as high
as 150Mbps download and upload speeds as high as 50Mbps … about 100x more
bandwidth (much faster) than most 3G networks. Safaricom should go ahead and
test!
