In the papers today it has been revealed the extent of the dent this price war has made on safaricom's voice segment.apparently safaricom was making 800,000 calls a day in 2010 now it is making 365,000 calls a day.if we we to translate that into revenue loss it would be billion of shillings.

That's really strange, I thought according to "experts" here on Wazua, Airtel will have NO effect on Safcom revenues...Kenyans don't care about call costs or quality, they just love Safcom coz its a "kenyan" company and helps build Kenya!

Selah,
Where is the link!!!
Revenue per day has definitely gone down, but not number of calls, I can bet 100USD on that!!!!

@Chairman,
Let's blame it on Kenyans peculiar habits of not calling when they are supposed to.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

@MCreggae its on todays smart company.

The CEO is worried about that and when the MNP come into effect nxt month be assured more drop in voice calls.

The fight now will be in value addition I foresee an overhaul of its customer care section where most complaint are as well as enhancing the quality of its network.

BOB has an arsenal which for the time being will be very critical In this transition period-Mpesa.Airtel is wasting its money advertising for MNP instead of enhancing its Zap solution in terms of increasing its agent No.s.Safaricom will still lock its customers bcoz of Mpesa.

5cheers dude..voice revenue streams will shrink a bit but number of calls per day will remain the same or may even go up.With reducing tariffs on voice, more calls are made for the same cost.sleep and dream innovation and vas.On this safcom is way up there and are going big on mobile apps.

Other than the number of their voice calls going down by a whooping 55% what's also more shocking is their own research shows 7 out of 8 calls DO NOT go through!!
