[email protected]A video link interaction between President Uhuru Kenyatta and residents of Radad, Baringo County, highlighted the launch of commercial Google Loon technology in Kenya yesterday. The service by Google’s mother company Aphabet launched on Tuesday could revolutionise access to mobile telephony services in Kenya. While the country is regarded as a success in telecommunications, numerous areas do not have access to basic mobile phone services. Through the network of gigantic internet-enabled balloons, a partnership project between Google and Telkom Kenya, Kenyans wherever they are can now access 4G coverage. “This is an exciting milestone for internet service provision in Africa,” Kibati said.
