Bread and butter still remains Voice,Data and Mpesa.
If the two other companies focus on grabbing some share from safaricom in the mentioned three segments they will give them a run for their money.

safaricom should be cut to size before it becomes a hegemony in mobile and card payments

Oh yee Kenyans!!! Why thou hatest advancement, innovation, progress, growth etc. so?? Why thou vilify the hard workers? Would thee want they to be like KQ, Uchumi and Mumias so that they are not cut to size??
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

How many cards will Kenyans be forced to carry, especially men in our small kibetis/wallets?

Mara the:
2 Main bank ATMs (Credit and Debit),
4 supermarkets bonga poits,
2 Fuel cards,
2 health insurance cards (NHIF and UAP),
1 ID card,
1 KCB pepea,
1 Equity beba beba.

Why cant Safcom come up with an app where you can use your smart phone in place of the damn additional card? I believe the NFC can be used in this case suing the smart phone.

I am against this additional card!

I thought I read NFC somewhere in initial announcement , I would be surprised if safcom goes ahead and print another plastics that increases their cost of doing business.

safcoms threat can only be the government change of policies but not another company as things appear in the medium term and even longterm if status quo prevails

Agreed! I am a buyer at a lower price! Applause Applause Applause But the reality is that Safcom is doing quite well and remains a favorite of foreign buyers.

Hope as an investment strategy is very dangerous.
