Only thing that is certain.. Safaricom will become less profitable especially due to opening up of its mpesa agent network to other MTS providers. Still cant believe Scom used to charge over 10bob per minute on a voice call and immediately reduced it when the Airtel price wars kicked in.. If Safaricom was a person, he/she would be in jain for extortion!


And guess what, they made more money then. There's something you havent learnt about reduced prices in a mass market. Watch and learn.


It is not only reduced prices that defines mass markets.
One thing in common with Safcom and Member is that they charge very high prices on calls and interest rates respectively. They have managed by using product differentiation
, the kind that you stick to as you complain year in year out yet you can't move to competitor. Thumbs up to their product developers

London-based GSMA, the global association of telecoms operators using the GSM technology, has written to the Kenyan authorities warning of the risks that use of the slim SIM cards pose to the integrity of the mobile telecommunications platforms.
The GSMA says the overlay SIM (which is embedded between a normal SIM card and the device) has the potential of harvesting and revealing sensitive data passing the system.
The technical opinion risks further delaying Equity’s use of the thin SIM to enter the lucrative mobile money market.

The title of the article has no relationship to the contents.

I read the article thrice but didn't see where the dispute has been resolved and Eqty allowed to go ahead.

Safaricom has received critical backing in its bid to stop Equity Bank from using embedded SIM cards for the mobile banking and money transfer service the lender plans to introduce in the Kenyan market by GSMA.

according to what they are saying things will be hard for equity. they have already spoilt the party.
“The overlay SIM has the potential to facilitate a man-in-the-middle attack by observing, collecting and revealing sensitive data such as PINs, ciphering and integrity keys,” the GSMA says in the advisory note to the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA).

There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope
