The firm which had planned to take its Internet and video streaming services to Kenya’s middle income and informal settlements has been mute for years running in a tough market controlled by incumbents such as Zuku, Jamii Telecom and Liquid Telecom’s Hai starting with areas then neglected by providers whose focus was mainly affluent areas of the city.

Able Wireless Blackbox offers 1080p HDMI Streaming, allows use of apps  and plugins and users can watch both live shows or on Demand at just Ksh 2,500.00 a month. Those who want Unlimited WiFi Only pay just Ksh 500 a month while those who want both Unlimited WiFi and Streaming pay Ksh 3,000 for the first month and subsequently Ksh 500. Through it’s partner AIB Capital and several other partners, the firm’s target population was the middle and low income earners, students and everyone who wants premium content at an affordable fee of just Shs 500 a month. Able Wireless said it had signed a deal with 3 ISPs to supply them with internet  two years ago.
