My take on the MNP is that in the long run it will benefit the dominant player, QB. Airtel will in particular loose immensely due to the fact that many subscribers first started with Kencell before joining safcom Many have kept their original Kencell numbers simply because moving to Safcom would have affected their businesses and contacts Simple mathematics shows that for every one customer that ports from Airtel to Safcom, Airtel must get 5 to port from safcom. This is a big odd to beat. The options available for other operators in order of are: 1. Consider Merging with others in the same predicament 2. Target the virgin markets and recruit new customers, Rural areas, s. Sudan and Somalia 3. Develop a new strategic plan, re-organise to bring on board new thinking 4. If you cant beat, them join them, just merge with QB 5. Cut the losses and run Shadrack
