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

Well noted Brian, though as Adam notes, fiber is the future. Orange is
laying a good amount of Fiber now.

We need Orange Leadership to offer (Shared) Business Internet @ 5K (5Mbs)
to 10K (10Mbs)

Caps if they must exist - 200GB for the 5K offer..... 500GB for the 10K
offer.

Of course they need prompt to respond, precise/accurate customer service.



Blessings

Murigi / Stanley Muraya

*"Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one
who takes a city." Prov 16:32*
