Ok...I just thought this is something worth talking about, Zain in Tanzania has a 3GB data bundle for Tshs. 15,000 (830 Kenya shillings at today's rate), why cant big players like safaricom give us something affordable? David. -- ------------- http://blog.majibu.com

Hey @David, that's a brilliant idea for the skunks blog. Rather than a rant, you could do analysis on the rates within the region and present a discussion on this. The more we learn, the better it gets. Remember that Apple's antennegate woes were not discussed on a mailing list but the general internet, social media ( you know more about this ) that got the winds of change blowing in the right direction. Hah! I can already see the analysis as an eye opener for many kenyans who are not on lists. Man, the blog site is going to literally rock with information. :-)) Me thots. Asante.

David, Market dynamics will determine whether the Zain's model in TZ can be worth here. Zain Kenya has an unlimited bundle of 3K per month in addition to various bundles, which Safaricom has. Unless the demand and supply are at equilibrium or the former is way above the latter, then Safaricom, IMHO, might not adapt Zain (TZ and KE) anytime soon.
