Business Areas
Kenya Data Networks is a private data communications carrier in Kenya. As of 2006 it is the country's largest private data carrier and operates on a similar scale as the state-run Telkom Kenya. KDN started business when it was licensed as a Public Data Network Operator by the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) in 2003. The company's headquarters are located on Mombasa Road, Nairobi.
The CCK has also licensed KDN as a local loop operator, and to provide fixed line services. KDN also owns an International Gateway License, under which it sells internet connectivity to local ISPs.
KDN was previously co-owned by the Sameer Investment Group - which owns a number of Kenyan and other African companies - and private shareholder Kai Wulff. On 1 March 2008, however, South African ICT company Altech acquired a 51% stake in KDN, and Kai Wulff was appointed as CEO. KDN's motto is "Keep the data flowing".

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or areas:
“Your business is watching my words. But I
admit nothing.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
