By the time Zuku wakes up, it will be too late. Too bad for them given that they had a great head start.


The kid to watch out for is Mawingu Networks part of Microsoft’s 4Afrika initiative. Fastest growing, currently 3rd place, soon to pip Safaricom on its way to conquer Zuku. Starting with Nanyuki & Laikipia, Mawingu is conquering rural Kenya.




Fastest growing is actually Safaricom. in 4th place the year before and in 2nd place today overtaking JTL and Mawingu. First place will be grabbed in a number of months. By this time next year we'll begin talking about dominance in this arena as well
Start!

Excellent results. That 1.6m who supposedly left had no impact even from the communication report they mentioned that talk time had increased.

I was held up all day didnt watch the results. Did they mention anything about the new ventures?

dividend of Ksh 1.10 for a stock trading at Ksh 29.00 thats like 3%, the rates were better when Safaricom paid 0.20Ksh while trading at 2.10Ksh.

To bad at that time mwananchi had the most shares.
Currently institutional shareholders have taken up and drove the price beyond mwananchi reach

More like speculators playing chess on the mwananchi. The problem is Mwananchi is the pawn, dispensable.

Is it a for-profit venture?
What's the ARPU for Mawingu?
Folks like fast speeds...
Zuku is the loser after blowing their advantage. A new (TZ) owner is buying 51% and perhaps the new leadership will flight back.

Safaricom also need to be a bit aggressive about their fiber, they like using the word PASS which is misleading
they say they passed 50k homes but connected 25k.
The price usually drops after financial announcements I wonder how far safaricom will drop I am looking to board
