I could not agree with you more JB. Pretty thoughtless move on part of Safcom at a time when it is under scrutiny and should be "playing nice"..

The regulators have been searching rather 'unsuccessfully ' at examples or scenarios when Safcom abused it's dominance, I may well be very wrong but this here seems to me like the perfect example!

This is definitely a case that requires serious attention from the regulator.

Since Safaricom is dominant in the mobile money termination market and in the absence of any regulation, it is in their interest to maximise returns in that "market segment" .So, Safaricom is behaving as expected!

Good Afternoon Listers, Safaricom has increased termination fee - the amount of money paid to it by Equitel for money to be sent from one network to another.
This has left Equitel users with high transaction costs on Equitel to M-Pesa transactions. See story here http://www.infotake.co.ke/2015/08/equitel-users-silently-hit-by-100.html <http://www.infotake.co.ke/2015/08/equitel-users-silently-hit-by-100.html>
