Orange's activities
In December 2007, France Telecom acquired a 51% stake in incumbent Telkom Kenya through its holding company Orange East Africa (OrEA).
OrEA is 78.5%-owned by Orange Participations and 21.5%-owned by the Alcazar financial group.
In September 2008, Telkom Kenya launched its mobile service, and it is now a fixed, mobile and Internet operator that provides services to business customers and consumers. Orange is the commercial brand used for all mobile and Internet services.
On a mobile market very dynamic and competitive, Orange’s strategy is to target top-range consumer services and business services, with help from broad coverage of the GSM and CDMA networks across the country. Orange also operates a network specifically for mobile data in the larger cities and towns.
In 2009, two submarine cables (TEAM and SEACOM) were opened, and, in 2010, a new cable (EASSY) will be used to develop the fixed and mobile Internet market.
