[kictanet] Safaricom – A Modest Proposal (Was Re: Price Control in the Telecom Market in Kenya?)

[Francis Hook]

Reminds me of the move by certain banks in the late 90s - to focus on
HNW customers , raise minimun deposits to shed off low income
earners....the Equity happened and suddendly the banks see the long
tail end adds up to much afterall and sooon they are opening branches
at every other bus stop...

Good perspective.  To a certain extent this merits a review of the USF
and its use.

Thanks for sharing the link.
