Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) had unveiled a New Telecommunications Numbering and addressing scheme since 2002. The scheme is to ensure stability and steady availability of adequate numbers for end users and for the overall growth of Communications services in Kenya. The introduction of the new numbering plan was also necessitated by the market liberalization of the communication services in Kenya, which had resulted in an unprecedented growth of communications services in the country, creating a huge demand on the telecommunications numbering resources.

With the rapid technological changes, innovations and convergence, operators and service providers are migrating to converged network architecture that provides better, faster and cost effective services to consumers.

In view of the above, aspects of management and administration of numbers and addresses take a centre stage and prudent measures have to be put in place to ensure efficient management and administration.
