Do you guys think Faiba can become a potential threat to Safaricom's fast growth in the data business?

Safaricom has to engage in the one thing they have always avoided. A price war. If they don't, within a year they will be holding less than 20% of the mobile data segment.

As it is Telkom and Airtel are king with college students. Faiba might deliver a fatal blow.

But one thing safcom is good at is strategy.

The 700 MHz frequency assigned to JTL will be the major advantage i.e one tower (eNB) can cover larger areas.

how they got that frequency is story for another day. .

to capture well the masses they need to split the 1GB data for 50 Bob further to like 500mb for 25,250mb for 15 and kitu 100mb for 10 but you can now see safaricom is hell expensive

True. 700 mHz is a robust network to set up effortlessly...

The challenge though will be the availability of Band 28 (700mHz) devices - smartphones, routers, tablets etc
