BTW, nimesikia that Wananchi is ramping up the installation of fiber for Triple Play...
AK & telkom kenya also are in it....safaricom might be caught flat footed.
Safaricom has a much larger footprint. Triple Play is good but not mobile [the way I understand it works as regards fiber].
AK's market is limited to fiber [which Safaricom & Airtel can attack with other offerings] which has Tangerine & Wananchi as providers as well.
AK's strength is 'corporate' but others are also fighting for this market. IMHO, AK lost the plot when they charged 60k for a connection/equipment...
