This is interesting.

Airtel Kenya has written to Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) and
Competitions Authority of Kenya (CAK) asking that Safaricom be declared a
dominant player in the market. Airtel Kenya, which is targeting a bigger
share of the country’s voice, SMS, data and mobile-money transfer business,
claims Safaricom has been using its dominance to prevent others from
growing their business. It is asking the two regulators to intervene and
stop the telecommunications sector’s slide into a monopoly where the market
leader, allegedly has freedom to do whatever it wishes.

I'm curious as to what remedies there are in the act to reverse safaricom's
dominance.
