The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA)
recently published the Frequency Spectrum Management Guidelines,
2020 (the Guidelines) that will form the basis for
spectrum management in Kenya; this includes radio frequency
licensing strategies, requirements and procedures in the management
of national radio spectrum resource and related satellite orbital
slots.
There are a number of key provisions of these guidelines that
individuals and companies in the broadcasting sector will need to
be acquainted with.

Spectrum Pricing
|
The CA will have discretionary powers in setting the spectrum
fees in a manner that enables efficient use of this scarce
resource. In determining the pricing methodology for a given
spectrum band, the CA will employ market-based and administrative
mechanisms, as appropriate. |
