conservation into caps. and on welcome to business africa want to get jobs in bill and thanks for tuning in now bigger isn't always better especially when it comes to commuting take a little can yes own home spun right hating this the two and a half year old company has ten thousand drivers operating in nairobi and over a million uses on its platform and it's starting to be a hit in other african countries too so let's take a ride the canyon ride handing out little might be competing with global players like hoover and jacks if i can get but it's only valued at around seventy two million dollars on a fraction of its billion dollar rivals. without the deep pockets of its right heel infos in the region c.e.o. come out a bit about he said little is competing with them by offering other services besides the ride. that there was an aids and they can sell in certain slew they can and they can be like what

a business they can do on both new things that and that that increases the income so then if you're doing that then you start fighting right just on the prize that's happening at the moment little also has another market me shunned of the right hailing apps it works without a smartphone that's important for people who only have normal cell phones the company works with mobile operators and introduced a short code which allows it to identify passengers normal cell phone location to provide the ride. the two and a half year old company has ten thousand drivers operating in nairobi and over a million users on its platform and last month a little even launched a bus service in nairobi now the company is also looking into offering own home delivery service can use homespun right handing out proves that a little hard work can quickly lead to a little success. right let's bring in our correspondent

joy during beer out in nairobi to find a little bit out more about a little right away i mean have you used a little already yourself. yes yes. they're all being where the traffic is once in a while you're going to need. services so it's actually pretty impressive especially the fact that you know you can use the short cord if you're not able to access data so little compared to the other as it might be a david facing collapse but then i think what we are seeing with little is that they're able to provide a larger number of product services alongside you know the taxi or even taxi so it's exactly i mean you mentioned it already like mobile ad time you can get we also heard home delivery service is as the next big thing there how important is this diversity for competing with giants like. it is

important as it is important for a little because what we're seeing now is that there are actually over fifty thousand users or drivers of compared to the ten thousand a little and when you look at the other services that they all far most of the canyon customers they say would like an application that gives them more than just one service so they're able to pay for their own like you know for by actually time as well on their it's actually an added advantage for them but not just that they're able as well to make home deliveries then it's an even added advantage for them so they have. to maybe but also the fact that it is headquartered in china gives it and now they're distinctive advantage because you know it is headquartered in san francisco and these types of fires well they're all competitors of little

pride i mean how big a market are we actually talking about is there enough let's say cake to share between the likes of little. the reason that yes because what we're seeing today is that there's an increasing number of people who are using. the hill in texas services in kenya and now the event diversifying more and getting lots of bikes as well to do the same and these now you know playing ground for all of them to operate in because of the lovastatin of the product offering that they have if you look at what. he's doing compared to toxify and little you actually are not is that there is quite a difference with them in terms of the chargers in terms of the drivers offerings little and she was saying that now they are able to also give the drivers an opportunity to educate the children so they provide computer classes. driver's children which makes it

a little bit different from the other is absolutely our look it makes it easy for them to do yeah i can hear your spoilt for choice they're a joy to read reporting from nairobi thank you so much. for having me. well to use the little app or any other online service it certainly helps to have internet access and that takes us straight into space who will be the first to build a new telecoms infrastructure in the sky as the first six satellites have just been deployed from a launch site in cool french guiana it's a new cost effective way to bring high speed internet to even the most remote areas of the world by using mini satellites orbiting much closer to earth than older models. three to one and lift off the arianna space has six one web satellites on board the pioneering venture has financial backing from some powerful players airbus cola

and the virgin group and it has big plans to bring the internet to those regions in the world that have scanned or even no access to it there are in mexico hundred twenty thousand schools that don't have contact and if you are going to have a child who's going to be a participant in the modern economy and have opportunities they have to be connected it's not a choice anymore connectivity is a necessity and so just imagine twelve years of schooling without contact every this is twelve years of schooling was connected to it's a total difference in the outlook one website plan is to launch twenty soyuz rockets per month each with dozens of satellites on board until there are two thousand satellites orbiting the earth will do this at an altitude of just one thousand kilometers the concept is convincing and it's attracting all the players

too including space x. for now though one with this leading the way. three. advantage. principle comparisons which is. also plans to put a large network up we think on. network can be a better network and it's going to it's going to happen and quicker than his but having said all that there will be enormous demand for his network enormous demand for our network and we can both live alongside each other as for the satellites once their work is done they'll reenter the earth's atmosphere and burn up turning not into space debris but manmade falling stars and all some other business stories making the news. inflation in germany has rebounded after three months decline prices in the euro zone's biggest economy rose one point six percent year on here this month pushed upward by increasing energy costs the european
