It's easy for investors to get emotional and prejudiced when trading, but computers don't

I'll tell you why, its because perhaps airtel has suddenly got enough subscribers to make a difference...they may not be the small 1.5M sub telco anymore.

looks like the price wars is taking a new dimension as seen here:

http://www.businessdaily.../-/amprih/-/index.html.

does the other telecomms houses have any moral authority to petition or file complaints over services pricing by one of their own in a free market environment?

i will really be very interested to know how the cck handles this issue as it may have an impact in other services and goods providers.
...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...

Issues of competition and pricing policy will soon be handled by a revamped monopolies and price commission to effectively deal with issues on the above which my not be as straightforward as various commissions(such as a whole CCK boss saying "the money will be spent elswhere")and some members of the public seem to imagine.

How can you complain about a 1 bob per minute tariff when you are charging 3 bob per full day?

Jinga kabisa!

You guys are making a lot of fuss because of Airtel.At sh 1.00 within airtel network is still expensive as per world standards.In the US calls within the same network are free! So,you Safaricom(SufferinCon) shareholders give us a break.I love Airtell.God bless them!



Calls in the US are NOT free. the companies just make you pay in advance and you end up paying for what you don't use. prepaid is over 30 bob per min
Foresight..

CCK State of the Mobile Industry

So I see CCK has done the necessary and released its sector statistics report Q1 2010/2011. covering up to 30-Sep-2010. Now now now, what does it say about Safaricom, Airtel, Orange, YU?

-Orange is position 4 for mobile

-22m mobile subscribers in Kenya
-Users call for 100 mins (1.5hrs) a month

-TEAMS largest provider of international bandwidth
-Safaricom with 2.98m data subscribers coming to 92% market share

Now if Airtel marketing team can convincingly for once make this appealing to Kenyans with 'peculiar Mpesa-ring habits', they can have a good shot at the MPESA stranglehold and unlock the dominance. Will their marketing goof as usual... Only time will tell.
