Badru, Like you, I love it when prices tumble. But I have always suspected that the Price of a product is influenced by multiple factors(e.g. quality of service, competition, regulation, usage, etc) acting in a delicate balance that need to be manipulated holistically . Tweaking Price (or any other factor e.g Regulation) in isolation can lead to very unpredictable behaviour (on competition, regulation, quality, etc) in the market. walu. --- On Thu, 11/11/10, Badru Ntege <[email protected]> wrote: From: Badru Ntege <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [kictanet] FW: And now MTN Uganda introduces Shs. 2/= per second To: [email protected] Cc: "'Isaac Nsereko'" <[email protected]>, "'KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions'" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, November 11, 2010, 9:01 PM The race is truly on to the bottom of the pyramid. I only hope the outcome will be sustainable for all. My worry is this competition might be too successful at separating the boys from the men and then to make sure the boys do not disappear the regulator will come back with a lifeline from the losers in this round with enforcing measures that prevent any set of players (MEN) to have Significant Market Power which then makes all this competition malaky irrelevant since there is a likelihood that our taxes might be used to prop up the losers . So where does it leave us. Is the competition good or bad ?? is the glass half full or half empty ?? I await the outcome meanwhile I’m talking more and paying less so my pockets are happy with the current state.
