[kictanet] CCK Denies being involved in Telkom Kenya/France

Thu Aug 29 11:39:42 EAT 2013

Since when was a landline company a 'crown jewel'.  It's 2013 and that
company should just be left to fall apart on its own.

In the US, only 1 in 4 households will have a traditional landline by the
end of the year:

I presume the Kenyan rate is far below that but it seems like the focus
should be on fiber and LTE and not worrying about dinosaurs like Kenya
Telekom
