This is interesting and Safcom is making an early data market
penetration when the others are concentrating on voice which I think
is a smart move because right now even if you have 12 million voice
user and you are charging two or three shillings to call per minute,
then you won't get as much profit like before when we used to be
charged six and eight shillings repectively per minute.

In simple words the voice market is not as lucrative as it used to be
and that's why safaricom is strategically positioning itself for data
market.

If there is something that I admire about safaricom is that they have
very good strategic plans and with time they will do a come back.
