I would like to see who the competitors will be in 2015. Clearly, Yu is on the verge of exiting the Market (they have the CRAPPIEST service). Airtel minute factory has failed badly in Kenya. Orange is on the way to been much more expensive than SAFCOM.

Here is a list of average calling rates around Africa in Kenyan Shillings;

i. Angola - KES48
ii. Zambia - KES28
iii. Uganda - KES18
iv. Tanzania - KES5

Airtel is using its profits in other countries (like Malawi and Nigeria) to sell airtime below cost in Kenya just to push out the smaller operators until its just them and Safaricom. It would then raise rates to profitable levels and slowly push for more market share from Safarcom. And this is failing in KENYA.

The reason why Airtel will never make it in Kenya is because they have never succeeded to associate themselves with Kenyaness...thats where safcom has won. Safcom subscribers are so loyal.

The telcom industry is changing fast, voice will no longer be the money maker so those focusing on the low end customer to keep calling so that they make money are going sink very deep.

Problem with Safaricom is not the company. It is the share. It was overpriced upon IPO. KES 5 is too expensive. I will definitely sell on KES 5.50 or higher.

My bet is that safcom will be flat or in loss territory next financial year,it now looks rossy because we are comparing with last years worst ever perfomance...above 5.50 is a sell to me.

surely anyone who bought at 3.00. the higher it goes the more likely your (already large)paper profit increase is coming to an end.

who last year could have dared to think safcom would touch 5.00 between then and 2013? now even 5.50 is in sight. unbelievable.
