The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) will redirect up to Sh6 billion from the Universal Service Fund (USF) to upgrade broadcasting, postal and courier infrastructure by 2027, in a strategy shift that seeks to expand access despite declining usage of these services.

It plans to spend the money traditionally reserved for internet and mobile phone connectivity to build broadcasting transmitters, towers, and antennas, as well as distribution networks and stations for postal services.
