Yu Amua Tarriff: failure to launch
by Dennis Kioko 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Yu just launched a new tariff and took the call rates closer to zero, but rather as a benefit to the customer, I would see it more as a reaction to a failure to launch. Most of those who use their network use it as a secondary network and ONLY for Yu to Yu free sms, thus cannibalizing the network. The tariff is more of an attempt to relaunch their network. I think their main problem has been failing to focus on the small things. Their data network has issues outside of Nairobi, requiring an alternative even for simple facebooking.how will youth adopt it if they can't facebook on their phones and have to keep changing Sim cards. I think they should have focused more on data for individual and corporates and introductory offers for calls to safaricom where most of the subscribers are. By a traditional call prioritised roll out, they are just playing catch up to another 3 networks. It doesn't help when you ask about and realise their data is poor. If I were them, I would make sure our few customers had nothing but praise for whatever service they use. -- Sent from my mobile device with Regards: Get your free technology e-magazine in pdf format: Tekniaonline: http://bit.ly/tekniaonline-2 Sterotyping: Abednego, tell the tribe by the name; visit the blog : http://gramware.blogspot.com

Own a car, then determine the correct tyre sizes. A tyre size calculator....
by aki 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

As it affect fuel consumption,performance, sluggishness, cornering etc. Important is the outer diameter. Someone wrote a nice calculator. HTHs you at some point. :-) Which also bring me to this : From a tech point of view and using the correct tools, what should be the correct tyre pressure for a given tyre size, terrian and temperature ( as the air inside a tyrer will expand with heat ) ? I think 28 psi for regular is too standard and everyone here seems to go for it. http://www.kouki.co.uk/utilities/visual-tyre-size-calculator
