Airtel competitor files a complaint with cck saying 'feelanga free' promotion was not clear....public were perceiving it as permanent.CCK instructs Airtel to promptly clarify that the "Feelanga Free" tariff is simply a promotion, and not permanent. '......to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.' Colossians 2:2-3

He sure does but he does not pay tax on his profits. My argument is that it is easier and cheaper for KRA to collect tax from big companies than individuals. The latter can evade tax and the KRA won't bother to go after them due to the expenses of doing that to each of the individuals versus the amount that they shall gain. What? That is NOT Airtel's problem. KRA is mandated to collect taxes so it should find a way to 'capture' all taxpayers. Airtel's job is to sell Airtime & other 'mobile' services NOT be a tax agent for KRA. BTW, Airtel is paying their full share of taxes! That argument was in no way meant to support any argument by Safaricom sympathizers' that low call rates is bad for the economy. Was made in isolation that it is easier to collect tax from big companies as opposed to individuals. Of course it would be up to KRA to move with the times. Low call rates will in fact spur economic growth in more ways than super-normal profits to telephone companies do. this is the first reply i have read and fully agree with it, financially and personally  LOVE WHAT YOU DO, DO WHAT YOU LOVE.

Meanwhile, in other news:
Further, the Commission has received a complaint filed by one of the GSM Network operators that it is not clear whether feelanga free is a promotion or permanent tariff. Upon enquiry by the Commission, Airtel Networks Kenya Limited has since clarified that feelanga free is a promotional tariff with effect from 13 January 2011. The CCK has further instructed Airtel Networks Kenya Ltd to comply with the promotional guidelines as provided in the Kenya Information and Communications (Tariff) Regulation, 2010.

This answers the question of sustainability and the economic impact to the country

The whinners are just very fearful of their economic future at the expense of my pockets punda amecheka

qadaffi wrote:Yess! Good for us. For real,the stakes are up. If I recall the interconnection charges,every time an Airtel subscriber makes a call to a Safaricom subscriber, Airtel will now charge him/her 1/- but pay Safaricon 2.2/- thus making a loss of 1.2/-.
Philanthropic or what? @ Qaddaffi, Yes! this is simple economic talk, sio utoto na lugha chafu from the the post above yours.

Posts: 137 They pay me nothing! maybe the question should be how much are you paid by airtel to be abusive to others views? And the fact that we joined the same day with Muganda does not make us one and the same person, its like claiming the safcom subs joining airtel on the same day are one the same. Dungu just dwell on the facts wacha side shows

I do not entertain anyone playing with my intelligence. Show me a single abusive language I have used other than disagreeing with your arguments . Both Jamani and Muganda had posted that story by standard before editing , wish I had quoted the thread to make it unediteble. Both joined in September 2006 Too much a coincident punda amecheka
