[kictanet] mobile tariffs?

[John Kariuki]

Jotham,Andrea,

It is a simple competition issue. The basic question is: What is the incentive(read "interest") for Safaricom to make off-net calls cheap?

How come Safaricom still charges Kshs 8/min for on-net and Kshs 12/min for off-net calls while the competition has reduced it's rates, with Zain Kenya now charging just Kshs 6/min for off-net calls and Kshs 3/ min for on-net?


...what's the rationale for all these?
