I'll add a few words.
Safaricom and other telcos who have not dropped prices permanently are playing the bluff with kenyans that dropping rates will knock them out of business. This is excatly the kind of bluff that seems to be working on some kenyans i.e dis-belief that rates can actually drop. The Safaricom/Orange bluff that is not going to work because the bottomline for kenyan consumers is : affordable services, finally!
In reality those who understand how telcos work know that Zain has done the right thing and is on the right track.
Safaricom is calling a bluff on its 30 days offer. The bluff is clear = Do you believe rates can drop? If not, stay with us.....
They should expect the negative trends to follow and start thinking of creating a leaner and more competitive company.
A new era of affordable rates is here. Believe it or not. :-)
