Kenya hit 60.2 million mobile data subscriptions by the end of September, and the Communications Authority says nearly four out of five connections are mobile broadband. Most people are running 4G, which makes up almost 85 percent of broadband users, while 5G subscribers are burning through 40 gigs per person compared to 14 gigs for 4G folks. Smartphone penetration reached 59.5 percent of the 75 million phones hooked up to networks across the country.
Mobile money accounts climbed to 48.6 million with a penetration rate of over 92 percent. The government cyber team detected 842 million threats during the quarter, which sounds like a lot until you realize that number dropped 81 percent from the previous period, when they saw 4.6 billion attempts.
