This is what Celtel said when Safaricom was doing trials and later launching their 3G network. They thought it was a waste of resources and a show of 'Kitambi'.They are now crying that there is a 3G service monopoly in Kenya. Did I hear someone say 'there is no 4G market in Kenya?' Lets all agree that Safaricom wanaona mbele.

This Adult-Love for Safaricom is really embarrassing. While at it why not just open a Makmende/Chuck Norris/Jack Baur thread on Safaricom and Michael Joseph because these two are all knowing and all seeing.

Some years back in my Philosophy class, there was a definition of what an (valid)argument is. @Elder: you remind me of two fallacies to an argument:Denying the antecedent & Straw man fallacies.Please make me understand where 'Makmende/Chuck Norris/Jack Baur' feature in a 3G - 4G vis-a-vis market. Don't upset your name

while we all agree that safcom has crazy speed,it will only be fair if they showed the 3G Coverage map everytime they advertise.Otherwise you'll have someone in mandera or even Thika wondering what 3G is all about.so assuming this 4G talk isn't a gimmick why dont safcom ensure we've got reliable 3G and then the rest.

The celtel argument at the time was justified .The reason being even as safaricom is testing their 4G the 2G penetration is still very low there some places where there is no signal.

If you look at India for instance they are rolling out the 3G spectrum this year having exhausted the 2G.I think safaricom strategy is a waste of resources and should first exhaust their current capacities before embarking on an infrastructural upgrades that would be utilized by a very small section of its target market.
