Is Happy :) with Safaricom Wireless

Posted on by

Safaricom Modem

I must say i am happy with the Safaricom Wireless connection of late. The speeds are now comparable to some connections i have used in more advanced economies.

I have been able to do Skype calls and even watch Youtube Videos Ocassionally.

Now that Safaricom has opened up its PAY BILL Mpesa gateway i also see the prospects of monetizing Whive.com Kenya’s fastest growing social network so its now double smiles from me :) :)

However the PRICES need to be comparable to the more competitive parts of this world. The bandwidth still costs a small fortune…

So all i am asking Safaricom Executives and top decision organs to have faith in Kenyan Developers (PesaPal/ipay et al …) to make things work and develop the e-commerce eco system in this country in rapid time.

It was sad to hear that the Safaricom Maestro Micheal Joseph is leaving the company this year, i hope he will consider mentoring us at places like *iHub_ and local universities.

Happy Safaricom mini_Shareholder for now…
