@Phares, sorry I missed your email. Queen Bee Love-Hate relationship. I love what positive things they do like the recent long term development of the Apps store and University where kenyans devs and companies will not need to get expensive licenses to partner with them on apps dev. A big development for the local scene but then they make a U turn and poke the same development with their own indirect lock down like the Mixit app. Thus the hate relationship. Something safcom needs to understand is that tech, coders etc are not your average joe who might be doing things like editing ring tone files or even editing pixels of some silly wallpaper. What's wrong at this picture. Someone who controls 80% of the market is looking at pushing those numbers higher? If they really wanted to grow, I would be looking at growing regionally. Taking the battle to other operators outside kenya and earning huge foreign exchange for this country and increasing profitablity value. Why not take this direction? I'll give it a rest. Nice weekend to all. :-) On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 12:33 PM, Phares Kariuki <pkariuki@gmail.com> wrote:
@Aki Your love-hate relationship with the Queen-Bee is particularly interesting :).
