Safaricom #ticker:SCOM has put on ice plans to launch Kenya’s first fifth-generation (5G) mobile internet services in a retreat that will see the telco focus on growing 4G network in the race to boost data use.

Peter Ndegwa, the Safaricom CEO, says there is no plan to launch the 5G network in the short-term, adding that the telco’s immediate plan is to convert millions of 2G and 3G users to 4G.
