Kcb is in the big 5, it's drop ain't over though it has dropped the most comparatively. So on the whole they've been resilient.

Guys are doing 5G in near places like Dubai and we are still talking of 3G and the 4G which my phone can only pick on selected areas within Nairobi.

Even in my own house 4G is is an on and off game!

I think the Ethiopia fibre will just be a connection to one of under-sea fibre optic cables and charge the country a fee

Look at the data provided by Safaricom. They increased 2G, 3G and 4G sites. Why increase 2G?

2G coverage is being increased for;
To cater for the increase in number of subscriber hence more voice calls.
To improve on call quality.
To improve on MPESA reliability since it's an SMS based application

To improve on call quality. How vs 3G/4G? [Unless it's a cost issue]
To improve on MPESA reliability since it's an SMS based application OK. Interesting. Thanks

3G and 4G is for data/mobile internet only; not voice or sms.
3G/4G don't do voice

Actually 3G supports voice. It is also possible on 4G though in this case voice traffic voice call is treated like data.

@kawambui;
Voice call through data quality is very very poor.
2G gives a very clear voice and is the preferred and recommended in the ITU standards.
Technology of 2G and 3G is different.
That is why any mobile phone normally has both true voice and data capabilities for the case of smart phones.
The antennas are also different for 2 and 3/4G
