I think the idea was to get as many subscribers (CRITICAL MASS) to their network as possible.<br><br>They now have close to 1.4 million subscribers on their network.<br><br>From today&#39;s dailies I have seen that they are now charging 2 bob......this will still make them the cheapest network and improve their cash flow...on a minimum YU can make 2.8 million bob per day.<br>
<br>With 2.8 million daily you can have a good business.<br><br>They may not be like Safaricom or Orange but they can have a small lean ,with good quality products and make a small tidy profit.<br><br>How many businesses apart from Equity,Utility and Telecommunication companies do you know who have 1.4 million customers?<br>
