As opposed to the fixed cost of internet service in Kenya, Internet Solutions (IS) has launched a consumption-based billing for businesses.
The billing service called IS Open Network and will see businesses pay as per their usage in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, Nigeria and Ghana. According to IS, the service will help companies cut down on the overheads experienced during downtime and off-peak seasons.
While speaking during the launch, Internet Solutions Managing Director, Richard Hechle said “With this new service, our clients will be given an open pipe and can utilize as much bandwidth as they like and only pay for what they have used at the end of the month.”

“It also allows them to set limits depending on how much they would like to consume without calling our support team.” said Hechle.
Businesses will be able to set limits depending on how much they would like to consume without contacting the IS support team. Customers will have four options to choose from: 20Mbps, 50Mbps, 100Mbps and STM1 – 155Mbps last mile options but only on IS network.
Hechle said IS was also planning to roll out non-connectivity enterprise solutions as it seeks to grow its market share and revenue. Recently, IS launched its first virtual software defined network solution (SD-WAN), integrated cloud mail service targeting SMEs, VOIP service and Monitoring-as-a-Service solution that will enable clients to have visibility of their entire IT infrastructure.
