[kictanet] Prime Time data; is safaricom ready?

[robert yawe]

Prime time is the daypart (block of a day's programming schedule) with the most 
viewers and is generally where television networks and local stations reap much 
of their advertising revenues. - Wikipedia 

With relation to data services Prime Time are services that are mission critical 
and that need to be up 90% or more as outages within that windows could be 
disastrous to a business.  An analogy could be loss of power during the world 
cup finals. 

This requires seamless provision of inter-branch connectivity, remote users, 
mobile users, B2B, B2C, redundancy, SLAs and security all in a single package.

Providing reliable and flexible solutions to meet the clients needs, the mobile 
providers are moving into fixed wireless and wired services which require site 
visits and high level of client interaction as opposed to the mobile services 
they are used to where you can get away with phone and "carry in" support.

Transitioning from wireless to fixed services is more difficult than the 
reverse, many of you will soon understand why it too KPTC aka Telkom aka Orange 
days if not weeks to resolve a faulty landline we are about to go full circle as 
the messiah mobile provides delve into the world of fixed.

I hope I have been able to justify my use of the term primetime.

As the price war on voice escalates and the margins drop exponentially as the 
mobile providers move to take positions in the data realm, are Safaricom and the 
other mobile providers ready for prime time data services?


What are "prime time data services"?
