Internet costs have hit an all-time low in Kenya as telecoms fight for the fast-growing market, enabling Kenyans to stream live the World Cup and other TV programs on their phones. The rates have been falling for the last months as data become the new battleground among service providers in the East African nation, including Telkom, Safaricom, Airtel, Jamii Telkom and Zuku, among others.

While the first three have focused on mobile internet which accounts for 99 percent of subscribers, the latter are fighting it out in the broadband market. Kenyans are currently paying as low as 1 U.S. dollar for 2 giga byte (GB) of data, down from over 10 dollars. And for broadband, the telecoms are offering 10 dollars for unlimited internet.

The low rates have come in handy for thousands of Kenyans who are able to stream live the World Cup on their mobile phones. "This has been the best World Cup experience for me for the last decade," Johnson Onyango, a marketer in Nairobi, said Saturday
Onyango has not only watched most of the
matches on phone so far, but he also did so
cheaply.
"The local TV station only showed half the
matches. The pay TV station hiked its rates. So
the phone came to my rescue," he said.
Some 30 million Kenyans access the internet
through their smart phones, according to the
Communication Authority. This makes the
mobile phone users the target market for data,
according to Bernard Mwaso, a consultant with
Edell IT Solutions in Nairobi.
"My take is that in future, events like the
Olympics, African Cup of Nations and Formula
One would be exclusively watched by Kenyans
on phone as internet costs fall," he said.
