With the growing availability of information to consumers, it is easier for them to make decisions on the products or services they receive from providers. There is already an existing competition among the telecom companies in the country. This was the reason why the Communications Minister, Mrs. Ursula Owusu Akuffo earlier this year sanctioned MTN to conform with a competition leverage policy.
Vodafone already has Red package which offers both data and voice credit to subscribers and this was a directive competition to MTN’s mashup. Vodafone Red Package is still in its original state with no revisions yet.
Most netizens have threatened to boycott the MTN network if they don’t do something about their revised mashup packages.
