They are doing A/B testing, where you roll out a new product/feature to some of your users, check the response, tweak it, then roll it out to everyone.

But this is definitely a game changer...with the price conscious airtel that we have known Safcon is in hot water.

Safaricom is in NO danger at all. MOAT they got plently of this. if 3 bob calls dint kill them, this is nothing. M-pesa will keep safcom on top for a veery long time The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Hot air after a lot of consideration, i have concluded that this will not in much way affect the giant considering that price fluctuations in the data sector.

I don't see how this affects Safaricom. 3G is a good thing but save for few of you doing data, to the masses who only make and receive calls it doesn't mean an iota. Safaricom has these guys by the balls via MPesa. "..I am because we are. "― Ubuntu, Umtu,

I'm curious to know just how many guys airtel managed to hama with... Airtel pushed their fingers into the wrong place, they are suffering hard on this one. its about 4 to 1 in favour of safcom

I had airtel modem sometime back but I quit using it after one week; I even still have 500MB loaded. I was REALLY DISAPPOINTED by its snail speed. If I use it now, will it use 3G mode or I have do some "upgrading"?
