Why Wifi Business Works in Kenya

The internet does not yet reach many places fast and cheaply. Stable connections are important for students, businesses and residents, he said. “You provide them with cheap access and they become a hotspot that makes you money every day.”

1: Get Licensed and Learn Your Legal Requirements

You also need to be licensed by the Communications Authority of Kenya to provide a public internet service.Two license options:

1. Public Communications Access Centre (PCAC)
2. Application Service Provider (ASP)

These licenses allow you to resell the internet and user data. You can add your wifi business and follow basic data retention guidelines. Licensing is a shield for your business and grants call franchise expansion in the future.

2: Pick a Hot Location of Demand

Your salary is a function of foot traffic. Choose areas such as:

• Market centers and bus stations
• Schools and hostels
• Estates and small towns
• Public waiting areas

Take a brief survey for internet demand, signal strength and power access.

3: Get Starlink Internet for the Best Coverage

Starlink offers satellite technology-powered high-speed internet access and works in both urban and remote areas. Benefits of Starlink for hotspots:
