[kictanet] [isoc_ke] Airtel hands BitPesa a Life line

[meshack emakunat]

HI
That great news, sometimes we may be too arrogant to learn from history...yet history can be the best guide for the future. if it is so then airtel may have taken history seriously and want to progress with what the market demands. remember "Kencel" then "Celtel" then "Zain" then "Airtel". remember the kencel scratchcards for 250 kshs yet safcom had 50 kshs scratchcard, 100 kshs kencel scratchcard yet safcom had 20 kshs scratchcard
