Other monopolies eg KQ and KPLC have crashed. From M-Pesa, to Tills/Buy Goods to FTTH. These are long-term projects that needed massive investments in time and resources. Celtel/Zain/Airtel dropped the ball. Telkom/Orange/Telkom was a non-starter. I prefer a (competitive) market economy to price controls that kill off innovation. I want Airtel, Telkom and Faiba to step up and force Safcom to lower prices thanks to competition. Well spoken and very true.Airtel,Telkom and Fiba should step up.

The margin per transaction may be smaller for Safcom (among others) but the volumes may make up for the shortfall.

that loss is insignificant to safaricom There is no absolute loss You guys have been advancing that Telcom is eating into Safcom market share, how come that is not reflected in growth of subscribers. Safcom are way ahead of the chasing pack. That data is June.. Plus usage trumps numbers Telkom kenya have a mountain to climb.

Despite all the marketing and aggressiveness safaricom still gained more subscribers than them Mobile telco business is surely a game of numbers... Telkom will follow the airtel path unfortunately... Hakuna shortcut...! Re-branding which somewhat 'confuses' the market/Kenyans, launch very innovative/friendly products coupled with aggressive marketing but sadly the reaction/returns won't be appetizing at all... The aggressive marketing coupled with innovative, friendly products will only be a medium to long-term investment - brand awareness (above-the-line form of marketing) which doesn't translate to immediate sales (growth) ... After a few years as they are about to throw in the towel, the unexpected might happen...! The'll start roping in a considerable number of subscribers to their numbers - same way airtel are currently doing thanks to unliminet which was launched years back ... Indeed Kenyans have queer behavior ...

If it was not for "reliable data" where Faiba4G is not available I would have moved from Safaricom to Airtel's Unliminet! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Airtels unlimited is crap #TukoPamoja Safaricom's investments in keeping the data flowing is a huge reason for its success among those who need/value reliability. I will download non-critical stuff (movies) using Faiba4G but important and time-sensitive stuff while traveling is often done on Safcom. Greedy when others are fearful.

Pay TV and internet firm Zuku, as well as the telcos cited the 15 per cent excise duty which followed President Uhuru Kenyatta's assent to the Finance Bill, 2018.
"The application of the excise duty by the government has led to an increase in the charges payable for the internet component of Zuku Fiber packages," the firm said in a statement on Monday.
Both Telkom and Airtel said they will increase headline voice and data tariffs by 30 cents each and SMS tariff by 10 cents.
The changes take effect from October 23.
Following the changes off-net calls for Telkom will now cost Sh3.30cts per minute, on-net calls Sh2.30cts per minute and SMS (any-net) will cost Sh1.10cts per SMS.
"In addition, our Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) price for mobile data will also be increased by 30 cents per MB; this translates to a new Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) price of Sh4.30cts," Telkom said.
