Mobile phone operator, Airtel Kenya, is angling for a piece of the data business boom. The firm, second mobile operator in terms of market share, will unveil its super fast Internet service—the fourth generation (4G) network in the first quarter of next year.
The revelation comes a few days after its main competitor, Safaricom on December 4, launched Kenya’s first 4G Internet service. Mobile operators are seeking to further grow their data business to counter slowing voice segment.
