Just wondering, whatever happened to innovation; revenue streams diversification, etc in organizations instead of blaming poor business performance on just price drops and elevated competition?

But with due respects, you are trivializing the all important subject of calling rates. I doubt you can prove and demonstrate that low calling rates automatically leads to immediate recruitment of incompetent staff (on the basis of numerous spelling mistakes on the brochure you have attached). I’ve printed a copy. It is unfair to (consumers) provoke emotions that you may over-pay for quality services. MSPs have an option to right-size – go for a lean establishment. Again this must be an exceptional brochure. Nonetheless, I’d love to hear from Safaricom on whether they can own up the brocure, its contents and disastrous spellings. Even if they do, I doubt they will relate the same to low calling rates, MTR or price wars.

When an organisation known for its attention to detail, releasing a brochure to the public with such glaring errors is truly a reason for concern. http://quadrantshift.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/safaricom-brochure-err...
