I would really like to see a map of the implemented sites and proposed sites. I would also appreciate information about who is running these centers and the ownership structure... I would be more than happy to consult with Safaricom on making the roll out work properly, but alas I fear that you will be right David, we are breeding more white elephants.

Thanks very much Bernard. Very interesting. Sharing my amatuer view : Maybe I missed the part but the clip makes no reference to investments done in Teams and Seacom capacities. Those were huge investments done, especially on Teams. How did safaricom pull off the profitability via 3g and Wimax in less than a year? Therefore, data rates should now be heading downwards. OneCom and Packet Stream Data Networks were two Wimax companies which may not have just picked up 100s of Wimax clients given ISP saturation in the sector. I think the main driving force is 3G. Zain, Orange and Yu need to get together on infrastructure and license fee. Since number portability is coming, data portability seems like a sensible approach. BTW, anyone know what rates Safaricom offers on Wimax? The website shows 6 packages but no pricing. http://www.safaricom.co.ke/index.php?id=789 On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 10:31 AM, Bernard Mwagiru <bmwagiru@gmail.com> wrote:
