My theory, Zain shot themselves in the foot by attracting the wrath of safaricom. Their 100 million plus subscribers will be of no use to the kenyan market if they are making losses in this market. Unless their innovations have nothing to do with safaricom products, I see this ending only one way. Safaricom will ensure they bleed until they come back to the table and negotiate not to fight on price anymore. In the meantime, Safaricom are selling laptops to teachers and students with modems and continue to rake in much more from data and Mpesa than they did voice

I sometimes find emotional excitement clouds sound business judgement and that is happening to many who are claiming that Safaricom has finally met its match. In my opinion. Bharti have finally met their match.....Kenya will be a market that will teach them a few lessons  Ask SAB Miller amongst others who refused to tow the line

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.
