Thanks for sharing this. This is what happens when we lack a clear policy on Net Neutrality and the usage in general. What the lawmakers are doing is what we in Kiswahili call 'kutapatapa' or in English to be all over the place. 

Let this be something that we as an industry take up with the lawmakers and work with them to come up with solid policies to address this issue.

Parliament will probe telecommunications firms for imposing expiry dates on data bundles, airtime and loyalty programmes such as Safaricom’s Bonga Points, setting the stage for a fresh battle between the lawmakers and the operators.

The National Assembly’s committee on Communications, Information and Innovation says it will also inquire into the widespread Internet speed throttling practice by internet service providers (ISPs).
