Top three mobile operators to pay Sh2.5bn each for 4G licence

Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom Kenya will pay Sh2.5 billion each for the 4G spectrum licence fee that the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) has said it will start issuing next month upon payment of the fees.

Francis Wangusi, the CA director-general, told the Business Daily that the technical committee has approved the issuance of the licence but the management is still waiting for the final go-ahead from the board.
