[kictanet] Safaricom allocated license for 800mhz

[Ali Hussein]

Listers

FYI. See attached Kenya Gazette Notice. 

This license for the 800mhz seems to have been allocated solo without a bid.‎ It will enable them to go commercial on LTE 4G and home broadband......furthering their dominance with assistance from the state? 

Confusing signals? On one side CA is bent on 'taming' Safaricom. On the other it is issuing new licenses without a bidding process? I can't pretend to know the process of how this comes about but would appreciate a step by step explanation by anyone who is familiar with this process. I'm sure there is a valid explanation to this..
