and generally looking ahead,I think you can expect more drops in profit for a few reasons 1)Unified licences make all current telco market players eligible to play in each others back yards 2)Arrival of cable - double effect - investment in cables and or cost of leasing capacity for 20 years AND arrival of cables is forcing drastic bandwidth price reductions - so far to abt 50% 3)Market Saturation (no room for 'real' growth except in the home segment which is already getting GOOD connectivity deals from SCOM,Orange and Zain through their 3G/EDGE/ADSL/etc connections). Right now the 'new' Telkom is AK's biggest threat. They have also suffered some customer loss to Zuku and Orange - us included
So overall,with declining prices and market saturation,it will be the same as with Safaricom,except that with SCOM they CAN grow revenues using data offerings but if AK is already reporting lower profits and can only look ahead to lower prices and a saturated market - it might be more bleak. Again this is why they need to diversify into IT Services (thru Openview) to add a new revenue stream and add value to their data (and small voice) offerings.
The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less.
