Kenya will use Alphabet Internet Balloons to provide internet to rural areas
There are 51 million people in Kenya but only 14 million are in cities. This means 37 million people are in rural areas.
* Only 40% of the Kenyan rural population has access to electricity
* 26% of Kenya's people have internet
Google might be able to double Kenya's internet access to 50% in a short time. Further improvement would depend upon progress with electrification.
