In Kenya there is now 20% excise duty on all internet data subscriptions with 16% VAT on top of its a 39.2% total tax. If your employer pays for your internet then there is another 9% (30% x 30%) income tax on top of that. If you want affordable internet, write to your MP.

Starlink in Kenya will be great for your rural home. But listen to this advice carefully I will say it only once. If you are in a Liquid Fibre/Zuku/Safcom Fibre/JTL Faiba area don't even THINK about ditching your fibre for Starlink... Or you will shed premium tears.

Awesome News I can share that @liquidtelecom has had a successful placing of US$840 million bond and term loan financing package. Despite the global challenges, we had an oversubscription which totalled US$3.2 billion! This is what building Africa’s digital future looks like!

Potatogate saga becoming a joke. KFC blames local farmers for not meeting its standards, yet @BD_Africa are reporting that KFC wont share its standards since they are 'proprietry'. Doesnt make sense. The farmers are not asking for Col Sanders secret blend of 11 herbs and spices!

@jameskaranu @CBKKenya @ODPC_KE They get the phone numbers by scraping the address book of the person with the loan. He must know my number. However my personal data is my personal data, so they require my permission to store my data and use it. Since I have not given them that permission they breach the law

@davie_cloudegic @_lennoxomondi Well its Ku band Downlink (in Kenya) as well as Ka band uplink gateway (currently in Lagos) so rain at either location is going to affect the signal to noise ratio which may impact the link data speed and satellite availability.
