I won't be shocked to hear Safcom stole the idea. Or if lucky, Safcon simply got wind of the product's creation and Safcom decided to air their similar product more or less the same time Airtel aired. Those scenarios have taken place a couple of times.
Does it really matter if safaricom has copied the concept....what matters is if the customers needs are satisfied..they are in business to make money Not massaging egos as to who came with the idea first.
As a customer you look for a product that satisfies your need looking at M-pesa, celtel came with the idea first but how well did they execute it? The same thing with what safaricom has done on the visa idea if it works for me interms of purchasing items online why would I be bothered with what Airtel will offer in future.
