How else? when you're a company as big as Safaricom and you know well that you pay your bills using a dollar, it is no brainer to know that you need to hedge yourself against exchange rate flatuation, how else? Use derivatives within the currency markets to cap the the loses so that you don't have to pass it to your consumers.

This cud be safcoms greatest undoing.You dont knw how price sensitive the new generation is.I hope airtel notice ths is the moment they have been waiting for.As for Yu..ALL CHARGES DROPPED! @Hunderwear, Yu has been free and cheap throughout, this price sensitive generation hasnt vuka-ed to them.... any reason why? Yu still has a total of 1.5 sub base, with an active base below 500K. One of the reasons is network coverage(no roll-out of sites), the other is quality issues(poor handovers, poor signal, call-drops, black-spots etc), then club effect thing.... among others. It will not be that easy even for Airtel

Unless elephant loses a huge chunk of its subscribers (say 40%), the tariff hike is a master act! Talk of shifting your costs to your competitor... $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!
