guys, why do you think have they gone on the offensive? I bet its cause Airtel is no tom dick and harry, and safaricom compared to them is ... ummmh, how do i put it? a speck. Airtel has 130M subscribers in India alone, last year they added 11 million. Me thinks the real giant is poking around to make sure everyone knows who the pant wearer this time around is. My money's on Airtel this time around. On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 11:54 AM, Ken Teyie <kenteyie@gmail.com> wrote:
@Osotsi, have you seen the Zain Ad on page 27 in today's nation? it reads 'Going green is not always the better option!' they dragged safaricom into the price war!
Lets wait and see, hope they have a better strategy this time its Airtel not Kencell! Think Airtel has been in the game before in India so cant rule them out yet though market dynamics will tell.

Teiye;
Why drag Safaricom into the price wars with a "going green in not always the better option"? Isn't Kencell getting back to the obvious stupid habits of yesteryear that led to their downfall? They should leave the giant alone while they undercut him, otherwise they'll be crushed, MJ said it - he can undercut everyone by charging the lowest if every operator thinks they are engaged in monopolistic tendencies. And they innovate or die afterwards.

Postpaid affirmative. 3bob calls and 1 bob texts. By the time safcon realize what is happening, masses will have moved. Airtel will treat the difference in interconnect rates as marketing cost...which (they hope) will pay off in the long run.
