Liquid Telecom Kenya is keen to enter the country’s fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) market segment, while retaining its focus on expanding connectivity to the counties. In an interview on the sidelines of last week’s East Africa Com conference in Nairobi, Liquid CEO Ben Roberts noted that the firm will be strategic in its rollout, avoiding areas already covered with fibre infrastructure deployed by the likes of Telkom Kenya and Zuku. Roberts commented: ‘We’re looking at an FTTH rollout, and we intend to be strategic [in terms of] where we roll out. [We] will be keenly looking at multiple dwelling units. Nairobi has a lot of blocks of flats going up mostly in affluent areas where people with young families are based. We are looking at just going into the estates and building a fibre to every single door.’
