Liquid Telecom Kenya is set to launch an Internet Protocol television (IPTV) service in Nairobi in 2014. ITWebAfrica from South Africa reports that the Internet Service Provider will offer a mix of "free" and premium channels, possibly in partnership with DSTv.
In September, Liquid Telecom Kenya announced that it would be getting back into retail sector, with a pilot launch in 3 to 6 months. The video service may thus be offered alongside retail Internet, making Liquid Telecom the second ISP in Kenya to offer TV and Internet, the other being Wananchi Group with their Zuku Service.
Safaricom has also being reported as setting its sight on offering TV and Video to its subscribers. The firm is currently spending KSh. 10 billion on laying fibre across the country - which may be extended to home users or used to offer data intensive video services via mobile. Related stories
