I'm not a fan of Safaricom's sh2 per
minute billing system. IMHO, I find
Orange way cheaper and faster than Safaricom: Orange charges sh. 110 for
100MB. But anyway, I guess we don't have that many users in Orange...

The best option is we use connectify software and the safaricom new
billing rate of unlimited browsing/download the rates are 2sh a minute
and they don't restrict the data bundles as long as you are subscribed
so guys will still facebook, tweet, and edit wikipedia. In my
calculation 600SH will last us 5 hours. If you agree to this then it
will now be the issue of venue. Alex can sort that out I am sure
