Kenya's Communications Authority (CA) has replaced the Satellite Landing Rights (SLR) licence with the more expensive International Gateway Systems and Services (IGSS) licence, causing operators to face up to KES 45 million in licensing fees. The CA also released its latest mobile network quality report for FY 2024-2025, ranking Safaricom first, followed by Airtel and Telkom. However, the report is criticized for omitting crucial testing for modern mobile usage, specifically gaming and video applications. Meanwhile, Airtel is steadily gaining ground in Kenya's mobile voice call market, chipping away at Safaricom's dominant share throughout 2025. While Safaricom remains the market leader, its share of domestic voice traffic has seen a slight decline.
