Safaricom has paid a Sh2.5 billion ($25 million) licence fee for high-speed 4G Internet spectrum, paving the way for the telecoms operator to expand its broadband services across the country.
The company has been piloting 4G Internet for the past two years but had until last month not received a final go-ahead from the regulator on provision of the services.
