In what may be one of the biggest news items coming out of Africa, it seems that there is a serious price war going on in Kenya for mobile phone business.
Apparently, one company called Zain reduced their calling rates by 50%. Much to the chagrin of the major player in the industry called Safaricom. This has resulted in some major movement of users from Zain to Safaricom to the point where Zain is overwhelmed by the call rates.
One caller is quoted as saying that low charges are more important than a brand. I wonder when the same will happen here in the USA. I get very annoyed when I see my cable bills. The cheapest thing I can ever seem to get is my cell phone batteries
