The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) is expending Sh3.5 billion towards closing the gap in digital services for remote communities.
The money is part of phase four of the Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) project through the Universal Service Fund (USF) to give rural communities the quality cellular technology and connectivity they deserve.
The increased communications infrastructure in rural and remote areas is expected to improve the lives of many through improved access to information about businesses, health, agriculture and education.
Many times rural communities lack access to telecom and digital services due to commercial non-availability on account of sparse populations, remoteness of areas and an absence of supporting infrastructure.
