The next battle is on Data. Voice revenue will shrink though not so fast in African market as compared to Euro markets. We are moving towards a Machine-Machine communication. A human being can "talk" for "x" hours per day. Machines are up 24 hours. The next wars will "Machine Wars". Safcom are on the right path I bet in the long term. LTE speeds if at all achievable will/shall be amazing On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 9:46 AM, Willie Ong'uti <williexm@gmail.com> wrote:
One need to start with the volume of subscribers before u think of data and voice... Zain is on the right track.

Joram please look through any mobile operators' financial report including Queen bee 80% of revenue is voice. In Safcom's case 64B of 82B was voice and 7.4 B data including GPRS.

According to press reports they have began technical trials on 4G (LTE - Long Term Evolution) with Huawei. At the same time they have been on an acquisition spree swallowing each and every WIMAX operator in the country.
Already they are the largest ISP and Data company in Kenya, LTE will allow them to do faster data speeds and wide coverage. So why in the world to they have to acquire Instaconnet and the rest? Are they buying customers? They don't need to given they are the largest brand already.

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