Can Faiba also disrupt the local Telecom sector the same way Reliance Jio did in India...?
WSR may be rich, but he's no Ambani....price wars need business strategy and deep pockets. I doubt he has either. Reliance Jo have defaulted on loans they took If a price war broke both sides in India don't expect one here. I predict Faiba will be a fail...prices will hike soon, crappy customer service due to lack of infrastructure and poor network coverage and simcard distribution. Unless GOK tells all parastatals to move to Faiba. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

With regards to deep pockets to sustain strategies and if Faiba fails, would ISP providers like MTN Business move in to consolidate the sector by buying out a struggling Faiba...? MTN Group has been keen to venture into Kenya's mobile business ...

The tricky part with faiba is the 30days expiry period for their data bundles. They should extend it to 90 days Extending it to 90 days means they make less money and consumption over time declines.They are happy when you clear the bundles and buy more in 30 days Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

The tricky part with faiba is the 30days expiry period for their data bundles. They should extend it to 90 days The idea is to keep you buying on a regular basis. A subscription model. I am a-ok with the 30-day bundles if I can buy 120 Gb [mobile data] for 4k compared to what I currently pay Airtel and Safcom. What sold me is the "mobile" data bundle vs Safcom's unlimited @home package which can only be used at home... I think "mobile" data is a better deal as we are out of the house for most of the day. That said, different strokes for different folks. Competition is a good thing! @semaj - I checked my airtel line but I didn't see the package you mentioned. Please post a link to the offer.

Very Interesting the link in Airtel Kenya post links to JumiaWith Safaricom having launched their online store, masoko , seems airtel is backing a third party online store by opening their own store front in Jumia.
