my personal opinion : I'd like to congratulate Orange on its step forward. The cheaper rates ( modem included ) will create demand for its services. Demand for copper based services will push telco to lay new networks. I'd also assume that within 12 months, things like 4Mbit/s services will be carried on copper without any changes to demarc equipment.

 

Reason for asking is : Safcom should now face serious competition on its 3g platform from Orange EVDO ( cdma version of 3g ). For safcom 1GB of data used = Kshs 2500 while EVDO ( on nyumbani rates ) will still be a much cheaper option, i.e Data usage wise.

 

Corrections are welcome.

Rita, will the same service platform ( bandwidths and tariffs ) be applied to wireless evdo, for those who are not in copper areas?
