Bharti can give free calls here, its all good, they have already started rerouting all customer care calls and software coding to India(Kenyans loosing jobs), they have sold all their towers to Bharti Infratel, which is shipping towers from India (all those Kenyan fabricators your contracts are off to India) even promotional material and re-branding material is being prepared where? One good thing is Safcom and MJ insist they will source staff that can be got from Kenya, in Kenya. Funny thing, they have not cut call cost anywhere else in Africa, including countries which charge three times the previous charges because they have dominance there.

@Elder, I didn't hear you complain when Zain was charging you 8 bob across all networks. Don't for a moment think any of zain is doing this coz they love you. Actually they don't. They are doing what they believe makes business sense to them. Safaricom did what made business sense to them. It's purely business, not a love affair...

Eh? Ati safaricom loves Kenya so much? !

@kularaha.
who said we are going back to 8bob. safcom is going for the jugular, a great offer that will leave the other players in the telecom industry on their knees begging. 3 days to go

Not necessarily,we are actually waiting for the pounce!, read the copy and paste from wikipedia below.
Price war is a term used in economic sector to indicate a state of intense competitive rivalry accompanied by a multi-lateral series of price reduction. One competitor will lower its price, then others will lower their prices to match. If one of them reduces their price again, a new round of reductions starts. In the short-term, price wars are good for consumers, who can take advantage of lower prices. Often they are not good for the companies involved. The lower prices reduce profit margins and can threaten their survival.

In the medium to long term, they can be good for the dominant firms in the industry. Typically, the smaller, more marginal, firms cannot compete and must close. The remaining firms absorb the market share of those that have closed. The real losers then, are the marginal firms and their investors. In the long term, the consumer may lose too. With fewer firms in the industry, prices tend to increase, sometimes higher than before the price war started.

Keep telling you, there is nothing to celebrate here. So just like you, we are waiting with bated breath, they are already wincing from the effect, "we don't care about profits at this point" the say!

Still waiting. Hii Wazua iko na maneno kweli.

Nice words elder, as always elder has wise words. Na bado when zain launches its 3G platform kuna mtu atafunga shop hapa kuna mtu atalia na macho mbili.

I think status has remained almost the same, no big change in litmus paper!!!
