Unfortunately data is not their priority considering they are still rolling out...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 5:22 PM, Dennis Kioko <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:dmbuvi@gmail.com">dmbuvi@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

but rather as a benefit to the customer, I would see it more as a<br>
reaction to a failure to launch.<br>
Most of those who use their network use it as a secondary network and<br>
ONLY for Yu to Yu free sms, thus cannibalizing the network. The tariff<br>
is more of an attempt to relaunch their network.<br>
I think their main problem has been failing to focus on the small things.<br>
Their data network has issues outside of Nairobi, requiring an<br>
alternative even for simple facebooking.how will youth adopt it if<br>
they can&#39;t facebook on their phones and have to keep changing Sim<br>
cards.<br>
I think they should have focused more on data for individual and<br>
corporates and introductory offers for calls to safaricom where most<br>
of the subscribers are.<br>
By a traditional call prioritised roll out, they are just playing<br>
catch up to another 3 networks.<br>
It doesn&#39;t help when you ask about and realise their data is poor. If<br>
I were them, I would make sure our few customers had nothing but<br>
praise for whatever service they use.<br>
