[kictanet] Safaricom protests CCK Ratings on quality of service

[robert yawe]

@Ali,

CCK has already resolved the issue it is called "the other option" plus number portability.

I have said this before and I will repeat it without any fear or prejudice, it is more difficult to manage 10 million subscribers than 1 million, based on this fact let CCK use weighted averages.

This concept has also been proven in the number of madmen in a village.

Regards

Granted. That doesn't mean they should sit on their laurels. We are simply raising the bar. In a land of the blind it doesn't mean the one eyed man is all seeing..He sees yes..but he would like to have the other eye too..

CCK with all its shortcomings needs to be supported when its doing something right. And in this case they are. We all have experienced dropped calls, mediocre service etc.

The only reason I'm forced to pay every month is because some of those lines are tied to a Pilot line and hence Orange is 'unable' to detach them...surely..
