@phares, thanks your statistics put the debate squarely in perspective

Subscribers Vodaphone 470 m Bharti 100 M

Vodaphone is 2nd largest mobile operator after china mobile in terms of subscribers. Bharti 7th in terms of subscribers. In terms of what the companies are worth, bharti doesnt appear anywhere near the top 10....

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. :-)

Me thots, catchup later in the week.

God is not an excuse for lack of discipline

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.
