The Kenyan mobile operator, Safaricom signs a GSM interconnection deal with Telekom Kenya, country’s third mobile network, expected to launch today.
The interconnection according to the telcos will allow the subscribers to make calls and send SMS within the networks.
“The agreement which has been under negotiation for the past two months prescribes a mobile termination interconnection rate of 5.27 shillings for voice termination services,” the statement said.
The new agreement will broaden the area of cooperation among both the firms, as they already are in a fixed - line interconnection agreement.
Safaricom’s CEO Michael Joseph emphasises the entry of Telekom Kenya to the mobile market will bring more competition to the Kenyan mobile market and will also benefit the customers as the present operators strive to improve their services.
The interconnection agreement will ensure a fairplay among the operators.
