Abstract
The review on which this report is based covers the whole of the ICT sector to 2006 and carried out under the framework of ResearchICTAfrica (RIA) Network. In general, ICT responsibilities are distributed between different arms of the government, with little coordination. The regulator has been fairly successful in introducing competition in most ICT markets. However, the fixed-line business is still dominated by Telkom Kenya while the cellular mobile market is still a duopoly. Most stakeholders in the industry perceive service costs as very high, especially mobile telecommunication services, along with unreliable and slow Internet connections
