Mlefu I'm shocked that you considered VOIP business as long term. After the advent of free VOIP services online, the writing should have been on the wall

Now this is interesting. Lets look at the options:

1. Safcon changes the promotion to a permanent offer.
a. Zain survives. At least this way we can project revenues and trade the share.
b. Zain dies. They take the call cost back up to 8 bob. Lose some credibility, but no Zain so who cares?

2. Safcon Keeps the promotion, extending every few days to expiry. No one knows what their strategy is. Uncertainty. No one buys shares.

What would you do?

@ Sober:

I was thinking exactly the same. Safcom should consider getting a banking license next year at the expiry of their Equity-Safcom MKESHO Deal(it was a one year contract if my memory serves me right.)

With the agency banking law, the MPESA and Safcom dealers can act as agents of Safaricom Bank, and the Safaricom regional service centres converted to Safaricom Bank Branches.

Telecoms business becomes secondary while banking becomes primary. A case of Business re-engineering.

Happy hunting

@stocksmaster
i know there must be something in the offing. a year wil not end before the monster pulls out a fast one. with that, even free calls the whole weekend or call rates of 50cts per minute will all lead to profitability.

You mean! cant believe safcom still charging some of its clients 8sh. you mean as if they are so helpless? this the art of dominance by sheer domination!!

Number portability is coming soon

Someone should just come up with quad drouple sim phone. In Kenya, they are guaranteed to sell like hot muffins.
