The Kenyan Ministry of ICT and the Digital Economy has proposed new regulations, the Kenya Information and Communications (Infrastructure Sharing) Regulations, 2025, that would compel telecommunication operators and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to share critical infrastructure such as masts and fibre-optic cables with rivals. This move aims to reduce network rollout costs, eliminate infrastructure duplication, and foster wider access to affordable communication services across Kenya.

• The regulations are part of a sweeping overhaul of Kenya's ICT sector, published in a gazette notice by Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo.
• The draft rules mandate sharing of existing infrastructure, including base stations, ducts, poles, and data centres, on fair and non-discriminatory terms.
• The public has been invited to submit comments on the proposed regulations within 14 days.
