On May 11th, 2021, The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) published a public consultation on draft licensing and shared spectrum framework for community networks in Kenya.
In furtherance of its responsibility to develop a responsive legal, regulatory and licensing regime, and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Authority has formulated a draft Licensing and Shared Spectrum Framework for Community Networks.
