the deal wrote:wooow let the Sellers sell..i wish i was in Kenya right now i would have put my buy order now...btwn Zain will just roast its fingers with those new tariffs...Scom has a cocktail of products to keep Subscribers hooked like drug addicts...Mkesho...Mpesa...The modems....
These airtel jamaas have deep pockets. And they are playing the underdog advantage and historically, the underdog always wins...
As for the mass market, kenyans wanna pay as little as possible for anything. I mean seriously, zain's call quality +reliability is miles better and now it's cheaper....the piles of people that I have got texts from in the last 2 days notifying me of their new zain numbers is phenomenal.
Mpesa u can get on zap, I'm sure equity is working with zain on a similar mzap or something. Modems are crap, they work today really well....tomorrow they don't... Speeds are also unreliable. Sometimes really good n sometimes really shitty...
Competition is always good for consumers...bad for the owners
