co-opetition? - a relationship between two companies involving competition in some segments and cooperation in others would change historical "winner takes all" culture. On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 4:09 PM, Inge Vervloesem<ivervloesem@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi, great thinking!!
For such a thing to succeed, we need to create a spirit of collaboration rather than competition. Let's see if our telcos are ready for that!
Blessings, Inge

I have a friend working on such an enterprise. M-Pesa is the payment platform for now, so it basically locks the deal to safcom :(

Here's a thought.
Most Kenyans labour under the mistaken impression that to succeed you have to do it using the one-big-deal-that-sorts-you-out-for-life.
Not true.
I wonder if Safaricom, Orange, Zain & Yu would consider setting up application portals -- something like the apple app store. Local developers would submit applications that would be vetted and if approved, availed on the portals for download to their customers. There would then be revenue share between developers and the telcos. Everyone wins. Jobs created. Innovation fostered. Telcos make money.
