@Dick, I maintain that our focus is off. Whether or not an entity has a dominant position is a matter of fact, not opinion. Determinable (as the consultant did) by dividing the market share amongst the players. That they enjoy dominance is not a question at all. What needed further examination is whether Safaricom (a)achieved this dominant position by means other than product superiority and (b)whether there have been instances where they abused their dominant position to entrench further dominance. I note that under TOR No.5 the consultant was to make a finding on whether such abuses exist. Unfortunately, I did not make it for the presentation and I see nothing of the sort from the summarised version above. There is a recommendation however to prohibit surcharges for cross-platform transfers. Is that because the consultant considers this an abuse of dom. position or is it as a measure to make the market more accessible to other players? Perhaps the full report has more details.

Will the Communications Authority now use this information from the market study results presented yesterday to declare Safaricom dominant and apply the recommended remedies to achieve a level playing field for all operators.
