Safricom has so far dominated the telecommunications market in East Africa’s most tech savvy country. Kenya, which can be categorized as a fast emerging market records one of the highest internet penetrations in Africa, at 42% and counting.
Canadian Telecommunications company Iristel is making an entry into the Kenya telecom market after going head to head with the majority telecom market shareholder in Kenya, Safricom.
Iristel is well aware of this fact, hence its decision to fully venture into Kenya, after operating under Kenya’s major telecom player Safricom. The company’s entry into Kenya was legally contested by Safricom.
