I did it a few months back, the team that did it was not making guess work.
Connected my TV to roku (non smart TV problems) and DSTV are still afraid of calling me wondering where their kshs 3,500 is going to every-month ... of course its going to on demand viewing, non-repetitive netflix
Multichoice needs to re-think their model otherwise no future for them.

The way Airtel operates Safaricom has no competition. Telkom was the one that could tackle them but they lack ammunition to sustain the war on a long term Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

There is no competition or alternative apart from traditional cash Safaricom is essentially a utility firm right now. As evidenced by this MPESA outage, its services are needed whether the general economy is flying or crippled.

Disclosure: I have a few Safaricom bought sub-24-ish  Now 22 I am glad I didn't buy many but I was primed to and ended up buying something else.  *Though I believe Saf is a money machine for now. Who knows what the future holds. Things are tough in Kenya! Saf is down 33% from the highs. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

No need to split Safaricom up. Other players now have more incentive to market their services to merchants. But this government of ours just likes to meddle and seem important. I am a huge fan of Milton Friedman; government should stay out!

Who knows what the future holds. Things are tough in Kenya! Saf is down 33% from the highs. Safaricom is great in earnings(The most profitable company in east africa).Management by vodafone is great.Innovative and keen in observance of changing business environment. I like it as an income investor. Its downside is poor asset value to share.This will be solved when it expands e.g Ethiopia move. But @vvs is a value investor.This one will be a tall order for you.

Safaricom has lost 20% share of voice in slightly over 1.5 years while Airtel's nearly trippled. Is it time for Scom to step down their high horse and start listening to their consumer & the market more?
BBI will solve it :)

Airtel has NEVER made even a single coin in Kenya!!! If you give free things/services and price the other services in an unsustainable manner, of course you will get numbers (pun intended!) but your losses will increase exponentially. Anyone who buys Airtel Kenya will be left holding one serious monkey! 95% of Airtel subscribers have Safaricom lines. Any attempt by new owners to price services sustainably (profitably) and all these fellows revert to Safaricom in the blink of any eye kama findio kama ndrama!!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
