u said it all...I own everything and I end up getting 32.6%!!..S.com is the winner here..

Now Moze & Sela... I have 25k imelala kwa account and I wanna grab this S.com thing..when do u think it will click 6/= or atleat 5.50?

I didnt mean they are not entitled to the dividends the issue is if you own a business why would you charge for something the company has innovated as well as for being associated with you (MPESA & vodafone sarl).

My argument is IF I control the budget as well as the business plan of a company it will be out of order for me to charge an innovation that was generated by the company I invested in.

Its like Britak or Mwangi charging Equity bank for the Mkesho solution.

That's called good business... Wacha hiyo ya two different organisations charging each other, I have worked for companies where DEPARTMENTS charge each other rent, labour etc... and you know what, it works wonders... especially when you need to cut out the fat, you can immediately tell which areas are least efficient, which areas can be outsourced..(and I believe that's what management accounting teaches us).

I've seen this even with families.. Those parents who teach their kids about compensation.. (pay your kids a salary when they work at your shop na akitaka kuanzisha biashara with your money, charge interest) those kids end up more business savvy and successful than those who are just handed over cash.. (NB// lakini I disagree with those who pay them for making their own beds or for doing household chores which everyone is doing)..

That comparison btw Mkesho/Equity doesn't hold any water. Mwangi is an employee of Equity so he can't charge them for the use of Mkesho.. His payment (for any contribution to the development of the platform) is his Salary. Mkesho is owned by either Equity or Safcom so again Britak has no say in it..

@ moze, i dont think they made it legit, this guys are cons, i bought my modem at 10k. What do you call that? And they still want a refund 4 3G licence? They should also refund me!

my friend do you think were it not 4 orange they would have lowered? Dont think so! This guys r cons man! Even orange, its only that orange is the least conning of the 4 datawise.

Soma gazeti, offer extended to 21st November,
They are still waiting for Bart's reaction!!!!

Which smear?

Don't know about the smears but indeed the case is closed. Safaricom is lying to Kenyans. Their SMS charges are more expensive than Zain's.

There gimmick of buy X number of SMS for 10/20 etc bob chargeable per day only applies to Safaricom to Safaricom SMS. And Zain has a cheaper one there too coz for 20 bob you send virtually unlimited SMS to Zain.

So your so called 'smart thinking' is a lie and can only persuade the gullible.

Boss, refer to VVS posts... I remember buying floppy disks at 250 shillings when they first landed here. Sasa I don't even own a gadget that would run them.

Its called Technology and its called business.

Rest assured Orange would have done the same if they landed here first.

and by the way... so much for your beloved Orange... See this quote from wikipedia

"On 21 March 2007 Watchdog, a television series by the BBC focusing on consumer protection, published the results from a Broadband survey they held. According to the survey Orange is the worst ISP in the UK. 68% of Orange customers that took part in the survey said they were unsatisfied with Orange's Customer Service, it was voted as the most unreliable broadband provider, and it had the highest number of dissatisfied customers. Two thirds of Orange customers experienced problems cancelling their Orange broadband.[15]"
