China Crescent Enterprises, Inc. Expands Operations Into Africa Targeting Kenya as East African Hub

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - August 11, 2009) - China Crescent Enterprises, Inc. (OTCBB: CCTR) has targeted Kenya as its next foreign market expansion opportunity. China Crescent recently participated at the African Advanced Level Telecommunications Institute (AFRALTI) WiMax Conference in Nairobi in preparation to begin operations in Kenya. Kenya already has a fiber-optic cable infrastructure in place throughout the country, and three submarine cables under construction or currently coming on line. One cable connects to Dubai, one to India and one to South Africa. With a population of approximately 38 million people, Kenya only has approximately 3 million Internet users today. The groundwork has already been laid for a rapid increase in Internet penetration.
