On the brighter side, their system security will be 'vetted' for free

Safaricom voice revenues are past kes80 billion. With a dual sim capability anybody would easily use the cheaper tariff as long as their safaricom number is active. If Equity provides data at cheaper and better speeds most people would use that and this eat into safaricom's core revenues. Most Safaricom sim cards might end up being dormant on phones unless they come up with a brilliant strategy. The mobile money is just a scratch on the surface. Equitel to Equitel sh2 per minute. am sure to Safaricom will be cheaper than Safaricom to Safaricom.
If it links to your bank account easy access to money so buying airtime is much faster at a cheaper rate. But all this will take time...Either way i wouldnt mind an extra billion or two on non interest revenue if costs are lower

we have one year to make mad profit.

for those who can see the future.....MVNO my friend....

yay! The regular SIMs are there not sure about the Thin SIMs.

1yr? Then?

This battle is tough, seen even in JM's face and hair. The stake is big.

But as such a market seem ready to accept this technology, there is a drawback ahead that Jm need to address. This is staff issue. They seem not to be satisfied with some internal issue. This can make this project a fail.

One year was kenyan style of saying yes foreva,even many people have lost money in mpesa and it wasnt stopped,we will deal with the thief if any and not stopping the technology
