Jamani was talking about how much I think its worth. It used to charge Ksh8 when it was around ksh5, it is now charging between 3-4 on average hence price has to go to the same level.
That storro of data revenue is fake. Safcom earns 84% revenue from data

84 % from data! Really?

@vvs- what do anticipate with the launch of 3G-is it going to affect data only or it will affect both(voice & data)

I think Orange presents a more realistic challenge in the Data arena than Airtel in the short term. A stable 3G network requires a dense rollout of Node Bs, which takes a lot of time and money. This will not be achieved in weeks, more like months. The initial nodes might not adequately support users who connect, especially if the publicity and marketing is notched up,...service level collapses to EDGE or worse, GPRS. Airtel management have to cautious how they go about this, it needs to be a massive upfront investment, undertaken with great technical skill. They need major equipment manufacturers ( say Nokia-Siemens, Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei etc etc) with 3G experience in on the act; KDN? I remain a bit skeptical. I could be wrong of course. Anyone with more insights?

KDN has a very big coverage in the country I think they have the biggest cable network ,I might be wrong But I think from where I come from They are the Only ones with the cable(shags that is).

Another thing I hear safaricom had a working contract with KDN b4 safaricom launched an assult on its market.SO I think KDN have a reason to pay back what safaricom did to its market share by partnering with safaricom bitter Rival.Meralli might be smiling all the way to the Bank right about now.

I foresee safaricom buying AK although I hear safaricom are partners in Jamii telecoms (uncomfirmed reports)

Cable belongs to KDN for long distance connection.
BTS belongs to Safcom for final broadcast from the cable.Last mile solution.
Ericsson/NokiaS/Alcatel does the networks and manages them.
Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

Heard the same about Jamii & Safcom. As for Airtel's BTS stations some are being maintained by by an Indian company called GTL.

Safaricom wins backing in row with rivals [read airtel] over sharing M-Pesa

No sharing of MPesa
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

I support CBK's stand except a caveat... Let them interconnect but with Safaricom earning a fair fee since they built the network for M-Pesa...

Airtel is probably using the M-Pesa issue to counter the PR [& goodwill] Safaricom generated from its ardent supporters & shareholders as regards cheaper Voice Calls...

If GoK puts price floors on calls than Airtel can push for concessions on other matters. In this case, I agree with Airtel i.e. we need a LEVEL playing field. We can't have GoK support one over the other!

I say let them COMPETE on price, accessibility & service... I use Airtel to pay my stima bill. It costs me 10/- only vs 25/- for Safaricom... Let consumers decide not GoK...

Airtel just wants to ride on the success of others, they dont even have their own money transfer service, Zap is owned by K-rep not Airtel. its a service they didnt want to invest in, now they are busy crying for help..... the field is level bwana let them come up with their money transfer service plus other innovative services then compete straight. They had the edge in the market infact leading however they insisted on per minute charging and high denomination scratch cards and lost it straight...

CBK on point with their decision. Mpesa is a proprietory product & the rights only belong to the owner who are the ones that can decide who to give. As earlier said, the war will be won by the best value addition & data.
