1999 Kenyan Shillings is $31 AUD. $29 from Telstra, over here in Australia gets you 80MB or just over 1/10th that. Ouch. More worryingly, these guys are very popular over here. Though I suppose that's not quite comparatively the same sum of money compared to someone's income.

(then again, other carriers are more reasonable - 3 is $20 for 500MB, the plan I'm on.)
