orange with persistence may just win the modems war as long as safaricom continues to be expensive to the mass market
Airtel is the only telco capable of raining on safcon's parade and in the process getting 'em to lower their prices & when they get to launch 3G saf will've to adjust their data prices southwards. BTW safcon 've a one day offer 2morrow, i.e, call unlimited saf2saf by dialling *444#; all this is brought 2 u courtsey of pressure from ur's truly ...

Why are u guyz forgettin Orange is also launching its own 3G. Basically it all boils down to pricing...But if safcom price their 4G really well ( which again will be a 1st ) then the market might just tilt to their side...

Just seen Safcom's new offer on their FB fan page. It's just for today, and it's 50 bob only to make on net calls 'all day.' This is rubbish when you compare with Airtel and Yu's competing offers. I believe Airtel are 2 or 3 clean hits away from landing a knockout punch.
Clean hit #1: Cheap 3G data offering
Clean hit #2: Any remarkable offer to coincide with number portability in April
Clean hit #3: Unlimited kila kitu for less than 1000bob a month

"Finish Him:" Free calls/ SMS for certain days of the week

zain is damn slow surfing at less than 50kb/ps but with the arrival of its 3g and its enticing data bouques of as low as 50bob a day unlimited,safaricom hav no hopes.

I'll pretend for a moment to be an eight year old and ask whoever is touting 3G as an elixir for mobile operators' revenues to substantiate what they mean. Under present market conditions 3G?

Orange,yu and airtell are super slow and i really dont think there's another basis of judgement. By that fact alone the two are out. Safaricom is more expensive than access so yeah.......there goes your answer.

What would be the ideal price for unlimited internet for the ordinary kenyan mwananchi's home broadband, when safcom enters this market?
