[kictanet] Airtel writes to regulators over Safaricom's market share

On a lighter note:

How the world works……

You start on same level and environment with someone….you work very very hard and become successful…dominating the other person….who is probably just being lazy….that person goes to court to challenge your dominance and indeed there happens to be a law supporting the person.

Case study Microsoft afew years ago….

As I said….on a lighter note.

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.
