The Determination is
effective on the 1st day of July 2010 and is binding to all fixed and mobile
telecommunications network operators in the Republic of Kenya. It will also provide a

communications market in Kenya. This is recognized in the Act, which requires network
facilities providers and network service providers to provide other licensees with
interconnection on request at any technically feasible location.
