A month after the roll out its 3G network in Uasin Gishu County, integrated telecommunications solutions provider Orange has added Nakuru County into the fold as the fifth County covered by its high-speed 3G service. This comes at a time when the company is moving to consolidate its data services business in the current financial year, with mobile Internet being viewed as the next growth area in the country’s telecommunication industry.

This performance has been propelled by the provision of the Orange high-speed broadband to 31 county governments and through the improvement of the company’s network across the country.
