[kictanet] Talk-2-Safaricom: Days 1 of 6 (Monday 6th Feb) - Consumer Issues

Wed Jun 13 20:59:22 EAT 2018

@Wachira

It was our Barack, with the feedback. I guess since the originator of the
initial thread was Walu, it still points back to him.., but I guess he's
somewhere around here..😉

@Collins,
Did you say Lodwar has 4G..? Will definitely go prospecting.  Where can one
get the full 3G/4G spectrum coverage map, as it currently stands..?
