mhh Safaricom is diving into an industry with many complexities i.e. solutions industry, unless you are saying that safaricom can customise all these solutions to a thousand and more demanding clients , you need real capacity which i doubt safaricom can handle thats why they say with competition the industry grows

if safcom can offer cheap rates than other companies in the same business does that mean other companies offering similar services are exploiting us or is safcom just running at a loss to get numbers then overcharge their clients when they are a monopoly???!!!

It beats logic!

I think this is a valid point. For once lets stop thinking like techies and go the business way. I firmly beleive Safcom needs to be regulated for the sake of business.

To begin with the case of monopoly is not the best for any country an example is Lehman Brothers which had a strong holding just like Safcom its fall resulted to the current economic crunch. If such a fate was to happen to Safcom when the entire infrastructure is build around it guess that would be a case similar to a war where a country's infra and communication is wiped out and we start to rebuild again.

If I go on, it will constitute to an article in the newspapers. Just to point out i also oppose M-Kesho reason being it is a venture between Equity and Safcom, now I don't oppose Equity owning the product but I oppose Safcom taking its stake there. That is preferencial treatment, what will other banks do? Will they have to beg for a similar product? Will Safcom hype it as such? 

In brief when allowed to carry on with the bias and move its muscles on any platform, it beats reason.

Now, those contribute to my 3 Cents.
Cheers.

before we complain we should look at both sides of the coin; the other IT companies see safcom as a threat hence the outburst while the local mwananchi (clients) need prices to go down. I think safaricom is not doing anything bad actually we should all go their way.

there is an old saying that goes, 'if you can't beat them, join them'

I don't see what the hullabaloo is all bout they are a homegrown
company that is makin money and trying out new things. Do what they
are doin and avoid makin a  cheap buck and you will be in billions
too. They have taken huge risks, they paid off. They invested in
seacom and teams and eassy I think and they need to make money on
their investment. Whining bout it will do nothing. Now they have an
operamini/data bundle . . . Am so signing up for it and this jobs
bizness is not getting any love from me . . .I also work for my money
