We wish to thank all those who managed to contribute on Day 1, Consumer Issues. Feel free to throw in some belated questions for Day1 - as long as you keep the relevant subject line.Today we move onto Day2 issues that deal with competition/ market dominance issues.The current data from CA (Q1, 2016-17) could be a useful guideline for the dominance debate. It gives Safcom the following market shares:-a) Mobile Subscriber population (69% of all subscribers, closest rival has 17.5%)b) Voice Traffic (76% of all mobile voice traffic, closest rival is at 13.8%)c) Data/Internet Subsector, (63.2% of mobile internet subscriptions, closest rival is at 21%)d) Mobile Money Transactions ( 81% of all mobile money transactions, closest rival is at 16%)I am sure we cannot ask or blame Safaricom for what it may consider a successful state of affairs :-)So please share your perspective as to whether or not Safaricom is dominant in the following sub-sectors and whether or not some intervention is required from the regulator in as far as making the market more competitive.Lets have your views, floor is open.----thematic areas---1. Consumer Issues Day,2. Competition Issues Day,3. Innovators, Innovations & Suppliers Day,4. Infrastructure & Universal Access Day,5. Technology & Elections Day
