Your argument borders on suggesting that the police should not arrest
the next criminal they come across, because there are too may others
out there anyway why bother arresting this one?

It is not "an idea" bw. 'academician' but the letter of the law.

"Under sections 23 and 47 of the Kenya Communications Act of 1998, the
Commission is required to ensure that communications services are
provided throughout Kenya and that the interests of all users of these
services are protected with respect to prices charged for and the
quality and variety of those services among other responsibilities."

My old friend John, it is now becoming increasingly harder to engage
