I like what Phillip has said and that ties to what I think: if we have more spending power (result of lower communication cost) we have more to spend on other things and hence still raise taxes from other goods and/or services. Its like safaricom wants to be the only company that generates taxes for GOK. The 1000/- isave on airtime will be used to buy books for my daughter - books wihich will still generate tax for GOK. So any way you put it GOK will still collect taxes from my spending... On Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 7:40 PM, David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd < kianiadee@gmail.com> wrote:
Is it possible for people to make more calls at lower prices and so much so that it cushions against the price reduction? Secondly how is it that the GOK would want to regulate fuel prices to ensure that they are low to tackle inflation yet want to increase per minute call charges increasing the rate of inflation?
Aren't they both in the inflation computation index? Does our beloved PS seem to favour a higher price regime and what possible benefit would that be to the Kenyan economy?

I also dont see the problem here...since they(safcom) pride themselves in 'innovation' let them invent something to raise revunue...e.g tag a say 2bob premimum on a tarrif that automatically pays your insuarance,gives discounts at outlets, etc...they have ran out of ideas, not revenue.. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke
