Edith, I think its about their Business Model, its value driven and Solution oriented hence the Super profits. That said my only concern would be quality of service, i listened to Bob Collymore on NTV last night and he alluded to quality issues over and above that i really have no qualms with he Super Profits.

Making or breaking records is fine (I’ve no problem with that). But what does it say when a company makes “super profits” as it’s termed in economics? Are we getting the consumer price right? Is this the case of “market position and market power <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_power>”?*** *

Despite regulation, competition and trying to level the playing field etc, the Kenyan telecom market is still not right! It requires further research to unearth the sticky issues! why are consumer prices still so high? What’s so “PECULIAR” about Kenyans as Michael Joseph once remarked?****
