[kictanet] [ke-internetusers] Communication Tariffs

[Barrack Otieno]

Interesting debate Alex, on one hand i support you, but its in order to give
CCK and the rest of the Mobile Sector players a pat on the back the tarriffs
have reduced considerably in the last
 months. there is increased competition due to Introduction of new Value
added Services, so far i guess CCK is doing fine my only quarrel is they
have been unable to license the third operator, i'm wondering whether the
problem is CCK or the operators, maybe Ms Achola can highlight the issue,
this duopoly is a drawback in the Information Age, dont you think so..
let the debate continue
