I also think they will get it, but if it so happens that some crazy from Vietnam hacks into the system and cleans out some accounts...the case studies will be very interesting. They should organize a hackathon

Looks like GSMA did not have the capacity to test Equity Bank's SIM card yet they released a crazy report just to support their own (Safaricom)....member is back in the game

And yet before they offered the service you went to an ATM to withdraw money and drove to the people you needed to pay. So much more time and money spent. I know that consumers very quickly get used to outstanding benefits and demand even more, but I still get amazed at how short our memories are.

Equity stating their price before getting the go ahead was a disaster. Out of topic kidogo, but this guy has won in life http://kenyainvesting.bl...ake-in-equity-bank.html

@kastone....agree...Equity should have kept their fees under wraps until launch of their thin sim...that way safaricom might not have felt so threatened so early in the game....

We are marching to October na hii MVNO bado kufikia wananchi......2 months past deadline,..I suspect there are some serious technical issues Equity must be grappling with. Has anyone physically tested the thing?
About the GSM thing,....it might have seemed frivolous, but lack of support from this body is something I am sure top Risk managers at Equity have pointed out to the daktari. If some intrepid inmate at Kamiti finds a loophole in that thing Equity will be staring down a huge risk of litigation. This type of scenario is exactly why mpesa and mpesa-like systems cannot catch on in Europe, America or any developed economy. MPesa is not backed by any ISO or similar standard, its not a known, well defined protocol.

Why equity keep chasing for thin sim card.it wasting time, they should go for full simcard instead of shortcut. Most wanjiku will fear to mount that thin simcard especially now fraudsters has gone digital. Wanjiku will cry when kingotore goes out of there account.

@DBlyon n Patrazi

Cost vs benefit analysis...as long as i can achieve the same thing in a cheaper way, i will go for the cheaper option. I will do so ad infinitum.
