A press release from Telecel today says the company’s mobile broadband subscribers using the co-branded Opera Mini as their browsers has increased six-fold since launch 18 months ago. They however chose not to say just how many Opera Mini users there are now which left us hanging with the question that matters most. We got in touch with an executive at the company to get the details but didn’t get a response. He said however that some stats can’t be shared for strategic reasons.
In the release, Telecel emphasises that they were first in Zimbabwe to offer customers a co-branded Opera mini, which is pretty much a way to encourage users to save data. We’re guessing this is in reference to Econet’s move to offer the same much much later.You can read the full release here.
