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".
