CA will from July ban the sale of Internet-connecting devices such as mobile phones, computers, printers, and scanners that do not have the capability for the new Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).
About 99 per cent of all Internet devices globally are still using IPv4 and just one per cent have migrated to IPv6.
“All Internet connecting devices must at least contain IPv6 capability for them to be type approved for marketing and use in Kenya,” said the CA in a notice.
