[kictanet] mobile tariffs?

[Andrea Bohnstedt]

Well.

The masses of Kenyan (retail) shareholders are probably pleased that the
company is keeping an eye on making money.

Also, by making money, Safaricom can do things like pay USD25m for a 3G
license rather than wait around for a couple of years and then get it at a
knock-off rate of USD10m after much complaining about the unfairness of it
all.

And last time I checked, anyone is free to pick up a Zain/Bharti line (or an
Orange line. Or a Yu line) and make those cheaper phone calls.
