The thing that strikes me most about the Nigerian case (NCC's machinations for MTN notwithstanding) is that dominance is categorized by voice, data etc. Can we have such a practice in Kenya?

Dear Listers;

We have the pleasure to share the link: http://www.cofek.co.ke/index.php/news-and-media/1336-dominance-wars-drive-ni...

While at it, we must caution the regulator, CA and the ICT Secretary Dr Fred O. Matiangi to avoid excessive and suspect rush to gazette dominance regulations. The duo must, without delay, consult the Attorney General, Competition Authority and “Wanjiku”.

Failure to do so will only lead to protracted Court battles yet well-legislated, the dominance rules are very good for the consumer and market.

Kind regards,

Terry
