It seems like safaricom "has finally " launched 4G and according to news reports are betting big on the home internet market.

To quote an excerpt from business daily

The network gives Safaricom the ability to provide its own advanced data services to an affluent market currently being served by fibre-to-home providers like Jamii Telecommunications (Faiba) and Wananchi Group (Zuku).

In addition to voice and other 3G mobile services, a 4G system provides broadband Internet access to smartphones, laptops with wireless modems and other handheld devices.

Potential applications include faster mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video streaming and conferencing, 3D television and cloud computing.

However note that that they are going to use data bundle pricing ( no unlimited internet)

so what it means is that they will be more efficient in collecting revenue as you "stream your HD videos "

I think Zuku and Jamiii will continue dominating the home market if they do not change their pricing model.

What are your thoughts
