CCK shares their sector statistics report Oct to Dec 2013. For once, thought to note some key ...who'd have thunk it!

• ZUKU just owns Fixed Data with 43% market share and growing 13% per quarter. AccessKenya is 3rd and Jamii is 7th. Safaricom Business is struggling here 5th with only 7% market share (would you believe it) and losing 2% every quarter.

• Seacom just owns Undersea Cable to the country with 67% of the capacity. Even TEAMS second is a meagre 14% of international internet bandwidth.

• Dark days ahead for TV with average weekly viewership declining 30% per quarter. Only Music, Movies primarily foreign content; Drama, News, Documentaries, Discussions all primarily local content.

• Only one SMS player in Kenya with 96% of all sent – Safaricom. So forget all those silly offers from who else. Even Whatsapp has no effect considering SMS grew 25% per quarter.

• Out of every 10 people with a sim card 7 have a Safaricom one
Out of every 10 calls made this minute, 8 involve the Safaricom network

• 26m out of 31m subscribers use mobile money, or a shocking 84% with 93,689 agents. These agents now nearing to approx. 10% of all SMEs in Kenya.

• Only a miserable 276 souls are served by Porting Access Kenya

Numbers for Zuku are highly misleading. How many of those fixed numbers work? I have a fixed number under their triple play product which has NEVER worked. The no incase zuku big wigs are wazuans is 020 521 5***

Not Thousands. Just plain 267 customers. The thing is most Kenyans depend on mobile internet (both cellphones and modems).

How can an internet service providing company operate with 200 customers? How? Or maybe they have other core business.
