[kictanet] Safaricom may face sanctions over network outage

[Eric Mwangi]

Listers,

Simply the dominant market player effect - now we can all "feel" what we all thought about Safarcom's dominance and the risk to the economy. However no discussion can really take place unless we quantify the market place risk.

For those with access to data have a stab at this which will give us an insight on a macro level basis. What has surprised me most is the lack of coping mechanisms for most.

RISK = ( System Vulnerability + Exposure degree) / ( Coping Ability) * Threat.

We are seeing a different Safaricom - one that seems attuned to the customer and more open that's why I'm disappointed that Mpesa is still down today morning and we have had nothing from Safaricom. A simple use of SMS to update us on an hourly basis is not too much to ask.
