Hi, am a South African intersted in trends in the Kenyan market. How big is SME market (numbers) and what is broadband penetration in this market?

I am going to hazard and guess that the reason why Apple didn’t sign with Safaricom is because of subcriber revenue sharing. Carriers sharing monthly subscriber revenues with handset makers was unheard of before Apple – and to date, I believe Apple is still the only company that gets any sub revenues.

There’s a company in kenya making widgets(apps) for s60 handsets http://www.s60.com/life/s60phones/browseDevices.do which are common in kenya. They are providing a cheaper way to advertise, charging I think 50 cents per ad as compared to nation classifieds 310 per line. I’ll get the details of the company shortly.

i think the iphone has a lot of potential for kenya with its ever increasing number of innovative applications but the problem is the cost(they are being sold at prices much higher than $200 FYI) and the fact that people have not totally grasped the total benefits of being online even on the go. this is not only a problem in the older generation but also in the younger generation. in African universities most people think that the internet is only for watching porn and for reading LOCAL newspapers only. So someone like me who browses the net hours on end is seen as a time waster. the iphone has more potential than even the netbooks because you can even browse in in a matatu and when walking along. i have seen very few and i personally like to own one.(and blog all the time:)).
PS I REALLY DONT THINK PAYPAL WILL EVER BE FULLY OPERATIONAL IN AFRICA. apparently due to credit card fraud of something that lame

Is looking at skyscrappers a good indication of a countries wealth index?

Afterall, Ethiopia just had to pull out of an ill advised war with Somalia. They have another war-like problem in the Ogaden and don’t forget about the constant problem with Eritrea. Plus, they don’t speak English.

Do you really think their your competition?

Thanks for the clarification about Steve Jobs i think i confused him with Steve Wozniak who co-founded appe with him.

@KE i dont think Jews consider themselves white but i concede they are from the west. Nevertheless its a bit too broad to say that its whites doing all the inventing. Perhaps its more safer to say its westerners.

@DEE For Kibaki to have achieved a 7% growth rate in the political climate(Referendum and all) that was there at that time was quite remarkable. He laid a stragetic foundation for growth that resulted in an expansion of the Kenyan economy.

Dont forget Kenya’s economy is much larger than her neighbours and for it to grow at 7% is quite amazing without any oil or huge commodities. Countries like Malawi and Rwanda where growth is highest are basically starting from scratch. The fastest growing economy is Angola at 18% but this is largely being driven by Chinese.

Challanges remain however once we settle impunity and tribalism good things will come.

The government is on the right path with the Green Projects because that alone puts us at the international level.

@KE please send me your email so i can inform the Tulipe guy about you.
