[kictanet] The Safaricom money machine

[Michael Joseph]

Why on earth would we do that? The challenge was getting the software
designed, installed and tested. It took much longer than expected as we also
changed SIM card manufacturers.

Kind Regards

Michael

how many billions have safcom made (subscribers users lost) while we "wait
for new sim cards" as MJ put it?
MJ mentioned this sometime in January if i'm not wrong.
with the speed safcom moves when rolling out other products/upgrades, this
"wait" is rather peculiar. i tend to agree with Robert, they are reluctant
to let go of erroneously made cash.
me thots!
