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. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

So many steps and the waiting periods just makes things awkward 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! Portfolio: Sold
You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.

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 "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."
