Data, value-added bits is where the value is, and truth is of all the key players in that space, Bharti/Zain is last. Orange/Telecom, SafCom, AccessKenya have the infrastructure and rolling out the enablers for the value addition bit. In fact, Id say Zain is probably hindering, because the price war is leaving everyone with limited profits for reinvestment to roll out anything else. See Sri lanka and other examples, could very well end up with Yu pulling out, weakened competition and then Zain promptly putting up prices to recoup. I'm with Safcom on this, they've not read the market well, I think there is room for additional voice penetration, but the facebook generation wants value-added cheaply (read mobile internet etc), which Zain is ill equiped to provideAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
