Kenyan ICT service provider AccessKenya Group has invested USD 3.5 million to build out the largest WiMax network in Kenya with an initial deployment of 35 base stations. This network will form the backbone of its Access@Home guaranteed high speed broadband residential service. The firm has also offered its existing corporate customers a special offer of completely free equipment and a 20 percent discount on the price of the service. MD Jonathan Somen said he believes the new service will offer a quality of internet connection in the home that has simply not been available in Kenya until now.
