They are supposed to have around 100 access points in Nairobi.”

I love the way kenya is improving its development.
What Do you say about the future of Kenya?
Hi guys,
I am told Kenya Data Networks has partnered with Nandos (mobile on the run) to provide FREE internet access via WIFI on all their eateries. 9 in total around Nairobi.
A worthwhile check.
How do I connect to Mobil on the Run? do I need to configure anything? I can see it on my networks with 2 sticks strength but when I try to connect it fails to.
I can also see butterfly but rarely. KDN told me that Nairobi Dam area has no butterfly network. I wonder when they will ever put it. Will they? A whole shopping center, estate, Uchumi Hyper, carnivore, splash etc. no butterfly. Most people this areas have laptops but its a pity no butterfly. KDN is where?
