Thanx all for your valuable comments yesterday on Innovations. We now kick-off Day 4 theme on Infrastructure and Universal access. Feel free to squeeze in belated questions on previous themes - as long as you keep the relevant subject line.
Safaricom has continued to expand its network beyond urban areas. But what has been your experience of Safaricom services in semi-urban and rural areas of Kenya?
a) Rural area:-Voice quality, Internet Access(bandwidth), Mobile Money (MPESA) b) Safaricom contributes to the Universal Service Fund to extend communications to underserved areas- how has this impacted your rural communities c) The government has the National Optical Fiber Infrastructure, to what extend does Safcom use/not use it and why? d) To provide services to under-served areas, the Universal Service Fund has been provision with Safaricom being the largest contributor, how effective is this fund?
It's a mix of questions and experiences. Floor is open till midnite today on this one. Lets hear you views.
walu.

I have seen Safaricom branded trenches in satellite towns such as Kiserian but we are yet to get broadband or services such as Safaricom box. Was the fibre exclusively for the security contract? On 9 Feb 2017 6:08 a.m., "Walubengo J via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

Safaricom laid down their fibre three months ago just outside my gate in Kinoo. They sent some guys to do a survey house by house a week later. When do they plan to terminate their fibre to our houses? I feel its been way too long. On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 3:39 PM, Grace B via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
