I prophesy: After this purchase of *Yu*, we're gonna have Safaricom buying Airtel, while Orange will naturally collapse somehow, unless it's sold to another entity, and it does proper stuff restructuring. Then? No Triopoly. Just a monopoly. This prediction is not too far into the future, not even vision 2030. On 3 March 2014 21:44, Wambua, Christopher <Wambua@cck.go.ke> wrote:
The regulator has just received the application. We are in the process of reviewing the application with a view to deciding the way forward. It is therefore too early to subject the application to public consultation.

Airtel, Safaricom seek to buy Essar's Yu in Kenya - Safaricom will get Yu's infrastructure, while Airtel is expected to acquire Yu's subscriber base < http://www.livemint.com/Industry/BZZuR21BJsoJf6jksBhnVN/Airtel-Safaricom-see...
Considering the profoundly adverse *Triopoly *consumer choice consequences, Should the regulator not initiate a public consultation before decision making?
