I find this partnership strategic based on the clientele AK has....I suspect TATA could not manage to flex muscles to the likes of KDN,JTL,etc....

Bernard, If you remember last year I talked about Kenya's scope of becoming a regional comms hub ( esp Mombasa ), If I was TATA, then there are 2 strong performers in the market. Kdn and Safaricom ( Onecom ). By going with either of these, the regional pop makes so much sense on a national and cross-border scale. BTW, I've nothing against AK. They don't need a pop. They need more investments to go national
But I must say the Tata arrangement is a disappointment. ( Now the Kenyan regional POP is really nothing more than a 5 kms radius of Nairobi City)
We hope things will change.
