[kictanet] Safaricom partners with KPLC to expand its data footprint

[Harry Hare]

Yes, possibly...I actually looking at it from the geographical spread,
security of the fiber given the many incidents of vandalism we have
witnessed over the recent past and possibly the cost that the like of
Safaricom can access the fiber for. The last time I spoke to someone from
KPLC he indicated that it costs them a third what other digger pays to lay
their fiber. Just a hunch, I know this is your forte!

Cheers
Harry
