The Safaricom CEO said that the satellite internet was effective in providing internet in rural areas and other places that fiber-based technology used by Safaricom and other local providers cannot access. He praised Safaricom’s impact claiming that 4G technology has 95 percentage reach across the country while fiber optic cable was becoming a fan favorite for homes and multinational companies. Peter responded to concerns of curtailing Star link wave after writing to Communications Authority of Kenya asking them to reconsider its decision to grant licenses to satellite internet providers. The CEO noted that there was misconception about Safaricom getting in the way of the satellite. He further said they had expressed their views about how the regulator should ensure industrial players express their views about how it is in terms of public transportation as per the constitution. Ndegwa said that they did not have the ability to prevent anyone from operating in Kenya. President Ruto who had weighed on the matter said in New York that Safaricom had created a healthy competition in the market making Safaricom to provide better services. Safaricom had recently upgraded its fiber internet speeds in a bid to edge the competition as well as packages that offered 1,000Mbps to meet the needs of heavy internet users such as content creators. Star link had also introduced Star link mini kit that would cost Ksh. 27,000 with monthly packages beginning from Ksh. 1300.
