  • Jambopathy Sir/Madam. The telephone market in Europe is now getting liberalised and is very crowded and competitive. One can nowadays buy a sim card in Germany in many supermarkets: ALDI, LIDL and PLUS. This is why the German Telekom is finding it quite challenging to stay in the mobile phone market. The pattern is identifiable in Netherlands, France and Italy. Fighting the freedom of the sim card to combat crime is treating the symptoms of a disease without getting to the core of the cause.

  • u don't know what you talking about.where in this world are cell phone numbers not registered?

  • remmember what happenned after the election mobiles where used to send hate messages which lead to alot of kenyans dying.with that the issue of the hague could be really simple for trassing the culpris of the violence so safaricom sttop going aganist his very good adea or u are still after your unrealisic profits.

  • Thank you A Kenyan!!!

  • do not filter comments. we come to NTV because we want to DISCUSS kenya with eachother all around the world! censor us and we will go elsewhere.

  • Sim registration and crime? The two are completely disconnected. Ask any criminologist, the reasons for crime can be found elsewhere. These Non-English and Non-Swahili speaking providers are now looking for ways and means of increasing their sales at the expense of Kenyans: Exploitation is on the way. The liberalised telephone market, the world over, is moving away from rigid market control which includes sim card deregistration. Tafuteni mwingine and leave the sim card alone.

  • here we go again, filtering comments.Why?
