KENCELL NOW ZAIN COULD HAVE PIONEERED MOBILE MONEY TRANSFER IN KENYA
by Emmanuel Ochieng 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi, everybody. I personally think that Zain back then known as Kencell, could have revolutionised Mobile Money Tranfer in Kenya had they just been a little bit aggresive. It was 2005, when I had an opportunity to work with one of their products known as EVD which was specifically used by scrachcard vendors commonly known as simu ya jamii. Vendors would first get registered by any dealer and then frequently load airtime on the simcard given to them. They would then sambaza you airtime electronically upon your request, that is if you've paid. The EVD system was usually used through a mobile phone and was very simple to use just like the m-pesa. I think m-pesa also inherited from it, the drawback of sending money to the wrong person. Cause at times one would send airtime to the wrong person using the EVD. Having launched such a product in the market, these guyz (KENCELL) shuld have pioneered mobile money transfer cause both the EVD and m-pesa shared the same concept of functionality.

Hi All, Urgently need to get 3 touchscreen computers. Similar to the ones @ java/savanah. The guys who sold there called prima technologies are somewhat unreacheable on the numbers with their clients.

Per MB billing
by Omondi douglas 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

I rilly want to know, or rather understand. How does this per MB billing work? Are you billed exactly per uploaded and downloaded amount of data,or how is it. Because on my EVDO modem if I check the amount of data transfered(downloaded and uploaded), Its not equal to the No. of MBs im considered to have used. Its slightly more. Which data is rily billed or how is it done. And if I buy a 250MB bundle and download a software worth 250 MB, will my account be reading nil in terms of MB remaing.

Entrepreneurs need which kind of funding?
by Ben White 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

As an entrepreneur in Kenya which type of funding is the most attractive and why? Or am I missing an option that could also be interesting to explore? • – Venture Capital - is a type of private equity capital typically provided t o early-stage, high-potential, growth companies in the interest of generating a return through an eventual realization event such as an IPO or trade sale of the company. Long Term - usually above 7 years • • – Term Loans - is a loan in which, for a set term, t he borrower pays only the interest on the principal balance , with the principal balance unchanged. At the end of the interest-only term the borrower may enter an interest-only mortgage, pay the principal, or (with some lenders) convert the loan to a principal and interest payment (or amortized ) loan at his/her option. Medium Term - usually between 2 and 7 years • • – Seed Funding - sometimes known as a friends and family round or seed funding, is a securities offering whereby one or more parties that have some connection to a new enterprise invest the funds necessary to start the business so that it has enough funds to sustain itself for a period of development until it reaches either a state where it is able to continue funding itself, or has created something in value so that it is worthy of future rounds of funding. Short Term - usually under 2 years Ben

Prejudged you is not at all correct You were on local media news days ago on this issue. I immediately asked you to react to my letter which you chose not to citing away on travel, and busy with business. As of today, when I asked you when specifically you would respond, you reverted with a two-word email "Next week". You see, our advocacy for quality, affordable, fairly-priced communication is not dependent on any service providers schedules or their ability to respond, via email, to our requests for information. And in any case, we have the right to state our position regardless and I am very sure that you can respond well via various media. regards, On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 3:47 PM, Michael Joseph<MJoseph(a)safaricom.co.ke> wrote: > I see you have prejudged us > > Regards > > Michael > CEO > Safaricom > > On 9 Sep 2009, at 15:35, "Gakuru Alex" <alexgakuru.lists(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> <http://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/410/16/39787.html> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> kictanet mailing list >> kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke >> http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet >> >> This message was sent to: mjoseph(a)safaricom.co.ke >> Unsubscribe or change your options at >> http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/mjoseph%40safaricom.co… > > ##################################################################################### > NOTE: > The information in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be > legallyprivileged.

UUNET joins AK in a chorus becoming irritating ( close to spam ) : " we have doubled the bandwidth while keeping the same prices......" Quote from Daily Nation. (yeah, yeah, yeah. big deal, whatever.......! ) Aki's quote of the day " who told you to double bandwidth at same prices, why not drop the charges by half at the same capacity?" :-)
