5G not anytime soon



US vs China trade disputes spillover!!!


Not true.
Resources including money is being reserved for Ethiopia entry.
4G utilisation is still low, so no need to put 5G which will have even lower utilization.

That would be a mistake. Ndegwa said the pause is for the short term, clearly they want to monitor the Huawei US relations going forward.

In the meantime, maybe it's time they started downsizing on 2G

Does Saf still have 2G anywhere but the most remote spots where usage might be very low?

Even my kabambe shows 3G at a minimum.

They still do, all that 2G can do, 3G can perform better. That will also be another way of pushing people towards smarter phones.

Pushing people to smarter phones is a way of increasing utilisation of 4G.
Currently very underutilized.
At the towers you'll find 2G,3G and 4G equipment,even in newer ones.

Nope. If you have a smart phone, your phone will connect to whichever band is available in your locality. Most bands in Urban areas for Safaricom are 4G (LTE) but that lacks in rural areas where 3G(UMTS) and 2G(GSM) bands are common. Having a good smart phone 4G enabled in such areas is a waste since the user is not using their phone optimumly. If they downsize and eventually shut 2G down, they can re-use that spectrum to advance instead of buying more spectrum from govt.

Also having a smartphone using Airtel is useless. Hence the reason those people keep complaining.

Globally, 2G was completely shut down in 2020 in US
