@Pius, I agree, largely, but operational costs in Kenya are independent of global size... The vodaphone group (which owns Essar Telecom, btw) has both larger scale and revenue than the Bharti Group.... @Brian Yes, their shareholders will have to take a beating for now, but over the next 5 years it may play out in their favor. The main reason Essar, Zain and Orange are calling for 3G licenses to be made cheaper is because they no longer have the capital that Safaricom has... -- With Regards, Phares Kariuki | T: +254 734 810 802 | E: pkariuki@gmail.com | Twitter: kaboro | Skype: kariukiphares |
