IMHO I think there may be a valid claim against Safaricon, for example the following arbitration decision, Icn-toshiba Kenya and Toshiba Japan http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/html/2004/d2004-0941.html On 6/27/11, Memusi <tonatech@gmail.com> wrote:

Safaricom should use this as a platform to sort out the issues raised. Take it as feedback on how some customers perceive their brand/network and aim to be better.
Rad, well said.
You cant brush aside a platform that raises issues in a network, in the name of "negativity". If there were no NW issues at safaricom, that site would not exist.
ilovesafaricom.co.ke anyone?
