[kictanet] Talk-2-Safaricom, Day 4 of 6 (Thursday):-Infrastructure & Universal Access

[Kevin Kamonye]

Do you have/ have you had plans to roll out services in other countries.
What are/were the challenges experienced.

I think the current Kenya-only limited market share and the demands of
better margins from investors could be the key reason that we are always
feeling the pinch of your pricing.

Also, it seems like am getting congestion along Naivasha Rd; calls
sometimes take a while to connect or they do so without any ringing tone.
More people are moving into the area, kindly see what to do about this and
even better 3G (at least) coverage.
