Kenya’s telecoms regulator says the winner of the tender to find the country’s second national operator (SNO) will be announced on 27 October. Three firms have been short-listed: Indian telcos MTNL and Reliance, plus Dubai-based Vtel. The SNO will receive a licence allowing it to offer a full range of fixed line, mobile and data services in competition with incumbent wireline operator Telkom Kenya and cellular service providers Safaricom and Celtel. The concession will be awarded on 1 January 2007.
