So whether they reduce their call rates or not they are still in a fix.... Mark 12:29

True Guru, but if you read the report their efforts are now concentrated on their fastest growing productions, thats where the money is, not on voice and they also mention that voice will come down and these are the products to take over. so as zain concentrates on reducing voice charges safcom was a step ahead in strategy

@jamani, there are two moves remaining that would kill off Safaricom:
1. A cheap, 3g offering - Micheal Joseph made the statement that they were not going to reduce internet charges until they recoup their initial investment. As a budding online investor, this statement cemented my hatred for Safaricom. However, this makes the data area ripe for a takeover, as Safaricom are unlikely to react.
2. An open source mobile money platform - whoever creates a mobile money Application Programming Interface and frees it up for public use(a la Paypal) will ride the e-commerce wave which is just waiting to happen. Safaricom and their arrogant ways are unlikely to promote anything open source, so here is another huge achilles in Safcon's heel waiting to be exploited.

Safcon charge a minimum of 55 shillings for any M Pesa transaction a real cash cow for them as with the recent compulsory registration they will have even gotten more customers. Target that and you hit them very hard. The data penetration is still very little and if they maintain their current pricing structure I doubt whether they will get the numbers they are targeting. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

True, the charges are high but in the interests of accuracy, the Ksh 55 as a minimum is not quite true. Sending money to a registered user is 30/- (any amount from 0 to 35,000). Sending to a non registered person would cost you 25/- if amount is less than 2500 and is graduated up to the highest charge of 170/- for sending 20K-35K. What I usually wonder is why it should even cost more than 3.50 or 5.00 given the fact that SMS uses very little, if any network resources. Even if you were to factor in agent costs, stationery etc, the charges are incredulous.

on the bright side, some other counters may benefit from the divesture...SCOM will seat at the lower Ksh. 5/=. Imagine if Zain also rollout their 3G and offer better prices...

Ive seen the long lines at zain centres with my own eyes... MJ is obsessed with EBIDTA margins of 45% and above! Yenyewe I thought peculiar kenyans wont walk the talk....1h 2011 will be very interesting The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

Safcom was headed higher but we were hit by zain..... Its cool because i know so many fund managers who bought at 6bob starting to activate stop loss on safcom.... But it might find support at these levels but NO WAY its headed significantly higher Mark 12:29
