NAIROBI, April 14 (Reuters) - Kenya's top telecoms operator
Safaricom has seen a 70% surge in data usage as people
stay home to curb the spread of the new coronavirus, it said on
Tuesday.
The firm, which is partly owned by South Africa's Vodacom
and Britain's Vodafone, said mobile phone data
usage had grown 35% as users streamed movies on Netflix, worked
from home and used social media sites like Facebook.
