[kictanet] Orange to exit, CS to yank the NOFBI contract from orange

[S.M. Muraya]

Orange persisted in enforcing bandwidth caps even on ADSL losing business
to Zuku (Wimax and Fiber) which did not insist such bandwidth caps.

Trust local shareholders + new local investors will get a Kenyan
CEO/Business Leader to sort out Telkom Kenya.

Think of Uchumi supermarkets and how it recovered under sound
*Kenyan*leadership :)

Regards

Murigi / Stanley Muraya
