Safaricom has basically halved the price of its internet bundles.

Predatory Pricing or meeting a market demand? 

Who benefits and who looses? 

These are the questions that we must ask. 

From where I'm sitting I can tell you one thing for sure - I'm not complaining about these new prices. I'm even willing to forgive them for capping my bundles to one month... Although it does raise pertinent issues on Net Neutrality.

Let's look at it this way:-

I used to buy 1k worth of bundles which got me 1.5GB plus a 750MB bonus exclusively for night use (between 10.00pm - 10.00am) 

Now for the same 1k I get:-

2GB plus 2GB bonus for night use.

Predatory pricing or consumer based pricing? The answer depends on whether you are a consumer or Competitor.  :)

One thing is for sure. These prices can come down further. (We Kenyans are never satisfied, right?) :)
