I don't think Safaricom's offering needs to compete with with Zuku quite yet, atleast on offering unlimited internet anyway, particularly because Safaricom has a much wider potential customer base than Zuku right now. It'll take Zuku quite a bit of time before they are able to boast similar coverage with Safaricom particularly because Safaricom has proven determined to upgrade their base stations to 4G and Zuku just won't be able to compete on that level. I do think that they have to get more consumer friendly pricing but I don't think they need to go unlimited yet, it'll just burden their network without a distinct advantage to them. I recently wrote about the opportunity that the Box represents for media here http://cdohnio.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-box-is-coming.html

ZUKU SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS
by Ali Hussein 20 May '15

20 May '15

Hi all Can anyone at Zuku who is on this list please let us know what is going on? I have had literally zero connectivity from them now for almost two weeks at home. Complaints through their customer service line, Twitter etc have not helped. All I get is a mechanical customer service rep telling me 'Service will be restored in due course and we are sorry for the service interruption!' Needless to say I have already 'vukad' to Safaricom's 'TheBigBox', however I still have a full month of service from Zuku. In the interest of trying to 'help' them I thought I'd pen this here because this kind of service is just unacceptable in this day and age. I hope someone is listening at Zuku. *Ali Hussein* *Hussein & Associates* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.

Government says 60% of Services will be available online by year end
by Ali Hussein 20 May '15

20 May '15

Listers This is welcome. http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/mobile/?articleID=2000161896&story_title=60%… One thing is for sure. When it comes to availability of Government Services, this government gets an A- from me for effort. We must appreciate the strides we are making. We still have ways to go but a glass half full - not half empty is a better way to look at it. For me, what I find most impressive is the thinking behind mixing 'analogue' and digital. Take the Huduma Centres. I think this is a master stroke of building a bricks & clicks model to serve the public taking into consideration that Internet Penetration is still below 50%. The eCitizen Portal, despite UX issues is another feather in the cap of this government. Well done Dr.Matiang'i and Team. Onwards and Forwards! *Ali Hussein* *Hussein & Associates* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.
