@Ali,
In academics, a hypothesis has an equal chance of being true or false.
It is upon the regulator, competitors, subscribers and/ or any other interested to subject the hypothesis through a test - by collecting appropriate evidence and subsequently testing the hypothesis.
The fact that no one has done this, or is yet to carry out the test, should not imply that the hypothesis is false. Tafakari hayo :-)
Anyway, we shall further interrogate this and many other mobile network questions soon (GG?) when KICTAnet will moderate a 1week session titled 'Talk-2-Safaricom'.
Stay tuned.
walu.

Let me latch on to that word Hypothetical. :-)
According to the English Dictionary this means:-
'Supposed but not necessarily real or true'
Need I say more? :-)

Dear Ali,
Solid points. My premise is that Safaricom has a "hypothetical monopoly" in a number of their product lines. In essence, they can increase their prices on these products by 5-10% and customers wouldn't have an alternative supply/supplier. This is the most basic litmus test for market dominance. (My friends from the legal, regulatory and competition vectors can correct me if I err.) It is a sensitive subject and please accept my apology for diverting from the genesis of this thread (Airtel exit) and belaboring the point regarding Safaricom's (alleged) significant market power. I'll rest my case and leave it to the powers that be to determine the best way forward.
Yours always,

Very true. There could be instances of abuse of Market Power. This doesn't stop us as customers and competitors to point these out. And seeking remedies. There must however be evidence of this and a formal complaint lodged with the Regulator and/or courts.
The Chairman of Airtel is the one who started this particular firestorm of Africa Exit at Davos.
https://www.bloomberg.com/ news/articles/2017-01-20/ airtel-considering-exits- stake-sales-at-some-africa- operations
So no fake news here.
Brian, my major concern about Market Dominance is how we define it and execute remedies against its abuse. The assumption that I simply cannot agree with is that Customers are so dumb that they will continue giving Safaricom a bigger and bigger chunk of their share of the wallet because of coercion and lack of choice. We have choices guys. There are a number of player now that are not even telcos that are starting to chip at Safaricom's Dominance when it comes to mobile money..Not to mention the fact that cash is still king?
I won't even dwell on the other aspects - voice, data etc. the competition is vibrant and competitors coming out of the woodwork. From places we haven't even fathomed yet.
While the other telco competitors are mulling exits and crying foul of skewed playing fields Safaricom is busy sassing out who their next competitors are..
Tafakari hayo (think about that).

Hussein,
I agree with you that in a competitive market the stronger will have a certain level of dominance. However in the telecoms industry, and more specifically when we talk about a space with a limited number of issued licenses (call them competitors), things can go very wrong very quickly if an eye isn't kept on a dominant player with significant market power (SMP) which can be abused to produce anti-competitive effects. It is also very necessary to reduce the granularity of analysis almost to the product level as a company can have varying levels of market dominance across different ranges of product offerings, a good example is m-pesa which has already been cited (my guesstimate is that Safaricom has about 98-99% market share in mobile money). Thereafter a composite of the various dominances(sic) across various products lines would probably give a fair idea of the extent to which the company dmoinates overall.
At this point it would be possible to determine whether anti-trust methodologies, regulatory interventions, policy interventions are necessary. At the crux of all of this is the strength (and independence) of the various regulatory authorities (comms regulator, competition authority, revenue authority et al). And of course underpinning all of this is the strength of the policy, legislative and statutory frameworks that govern the space.
IMHO the country is a the mercy of Safaricom's goodwill. All the company needs is a Trump who will strong-arm all of the actors/players into dancing to his/her tune...
My two sumuni,
Mblayo

Hello everyone, Interesting debate. And after all the vibrant debate, explanations and the likely perception of Safaricom as the bad guys or reaping from policies skewed to their advantage, for me the Big Q is why is Airtel exiting other countries as well? Can it be facing the same issues across the board, or could it be simply not understanding the African market altogether? Way back when in the early days, I think they were first to introduce the concept of sharing airtime called Me2U. I might have seen a TV ad or two on NTV and KTN and that was it. Safaricom took the idea, called it Sambaza, advertized where wananchi were and the rest is history. And the same pattern repeated itself in many ways, just knowing how to get people's hearts. Remember the Masai ad? Sometimes the answers are in the simple things.

Ali,
My very last take on this....
What you refer to, that the market always corrects itself assumes a pretty fair playing field, in which case, yes!
However, closely associated with market dominance is monopoly tendencies (stolen from Julius Malema), illegal & underhand business practices and *ultimately* anti-competitive behaviours!
Lets look back at Microsoft versus everyone else. While Microsoft wasn't broken up as was initially suggested, they were forced to open up their API for the operating system to ensure that every developer using the Microsoft Windows API got the exact same API.
They were also forced to unbundle IE from the OS. If you remember Windows '98, IE was equivalent to the Windows Shell. You used it upende usipende! What did that do to other browsers, it killed them off one by one!
When they unbundled the browser and gave users a choice on the Windows Platform we got Firefox, Google Chrome et.al.... Innovation
Look to the other side of Microsoft incenstious relationship with Intel forming the formidable WinTel!
Intel at the height of its anti-competitive behaviour paid Dell more than USD 1B *NOT* to use AMD chips which were by then leading in the processors war. Remember AMD gave us 64bit computing way ahead of Intel.
It is not hard to imagine what 'illegal' things one would do if you had a few Billion shillings to spend against your competitors with no anti-competition laws. You could: 1. Pay every mobile agent to make sure they never offer services for other providers apart from yours 2. With you advertising budget running into Bs ensure that your competition never airs any Ads from your competitors, until you 'approve' it. 3, with your deep pockets ensure no 'bad' or illegal practices that you are heavily involved in are mentioned anywhere in the media. If any media house airs any, you pull-off your entire media bookings from them until they 'shika adabu'! 4. Buy the entire usable bandwidth from TEAMS without using it, simply to starve your competition until they surrender. 4. Buy the entire stock of your competitions 'bottles' to make sure they keep on manufacturing news ones every time as opposed to simply recycling them. 5. Ensure that no mobile phone provider pre-loads any competing app to your core apps, whether they are sold on your network on not! If they do, you simply cancel all their orders and voila, watu wanashika adabu! 6. Ensure no one even dreams of selling dual-sim phones through your network... yeah, this one was hilarious & true!
Point is, Market dominance that ultimately leads to anti-competitive behaviour, which ultimately stifles competition.
Think about it, what-if, just before M-Pesa launched, Airtel Kenya which I think was at par with Safaricom then, called their lobbyist and handed them some seriously loaded brown envelopes to kill of the then nascent mobile money transfer technology, where would we be today?
And that's why I shuddered when Equity came up with the novel idea of using SIM Card overlays, which Safaricom fought tooth and nail to stop, including using serious FUD, the Courts, Government bureaucracy et.al to stop an idea whose time had come!
Equitel was *lucky* to see the next day. You could argue they had deep pockets!
But, what of that kid in campus who comes up with MPesa reloaded, will he survive the onslaught? What if WhatsApp was a Kenyan firm, threatening to take away crucial revenue from SMS from Safaricom as an example?
Would they have been allowed to thrive?
How many 'ICT practitioners' would have come out of the woodwork to claim that this technology was 'unsafe', 'untested', 'unregulated'?
How many media outlets would have covered their success stories without fear of antagonizing their loaded telco customers?
How many phone providers would have dared to be been 'seen' to advertising Whatsapp on their phones?
List goes on & on.
My point is, market dominance without very solid & well implemented anti-competition laws stifles innovation big time.
P.S Every scenario I have picked on, on what I would do if I had a few Bs to smoother my competition is hypothetical and likeness to any real scenario is by mere inter-galactic coincidence :-)
