<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These are quite deep insights...my focus has mainly been on Consumer Internet Prices which would most likely fall under "what is to be regulated" as a result of being one of the critical services in the hands of a "dominant player". The pressure to regulate this service is particularly high given the investments the Government made in the TEAMS project (undersea cable) on behalf of the public (tax-payers) who are really yet to see meangful CONSUMER internet price reductions...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Whereas as a consumer, I would be happy to see price reductions in Internet consumer prices, am not quite sure that a regulatory approach to this would be sustainable. At the moment I pay for about 13USD (1,000Ksh) for 400MB of mobile internet. Lets say the regulator using their informed formulae comes up one morning and forces the dominant player to make this tariff read something like 6USD for the 400MB - what would be the likely visa-viz the expected outcomes of such a move in the market? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>a) Would this necessary lead to an increase in number of citizens using the internet service or would it simply mean the current privilaged number of users enjoy better prices with little impact on new internet users?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>b)How would this then impact on the (dominant) Operator, Regulator, Competitors, Investors and other stakeholders? </DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">Just checking my old notes for context on how we came to where we are - and how we can get out!!</SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'"> </SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">Kencell was awarded a licence to operate on 23/1/2000 while Safaricom under Vodafone management took over on 20/7/2000. Both operators launched their operations on 24/8/2000 ( Kencell) and 21/10/2000 ( Safaricom) and by dec 2000 , Kencell had 39300 customers while Safaricom was far behind at 29100 customers . Safaricom was the smallest player in the market! Indeed the situation did not change immediately and by march 2001 kencell was still leading at 126000 against Safaricom’s 93700. At the time, Telkom had seemingly unassailable lead of 300000 controlling 60% market share with Safaricom trailing the pack. By June however, things starting changing with the last overtaking both by the end of year and positions reversed - it seems forever. Note that at the time ,
TKL could not change its tariffs without authority from CCK as the incumbent dominant player not to ‘kill’ the nascent players. The cellular operators needed only to file their tariffs with CCK</SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'"> </SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">While Safaricom took off behind Kencell by 3 months it had 17000 customers on its list inherited from TKL, it also had some goodies by virtue of its closeness to TKL – interconnection, access to tkl property to build cellsites etc. these however cannot account for its growth today. It is a question of strategies both companies took –one focused on the high value niche market emphasising post-paid requiring PIN certificates those days , the other focused on the mass market with tools like per second billing, no charge on customer number etc. branding , level of investment and consistent brand . these were a major differentiator and all have contributed to make the difference we see today. While we are very price conscious , there are many other elements
built around of the network we chose and affect the decision of choice . last year for example the networks invested 41% of their revenues for network expansion. This is a massive investment and certainly biggest investor must expert to get the most out of its investment. the new operators tried to fight on price alone but certainly that did not dent the market shares and in a market where 99% of the market is pre paid and can vote with their legs and churn with least effort with or without MNP. </SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'"> </SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'"> So, are regulatory tools based on tariffs adequate to reign-in market dominance as proposed in the regulations? NO. it cannot account for the investment, strategies , innovation and risk taken by the dominant player. Equally , it does not jerk up the smallest players either. Strategies define who dominates or lose . The incumbent cellular operators in Tanzania and Ghana collapsed when new operators came to the market , MTN Uganda on its launch registered more customers on day one than the incumbent Celtel. We need tools that really jerk up those behind to really exploit the national resource ( spectrum etc ) they are holding </SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'"> </SPAN></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">It’s true that dominant players can easily use their might to squeeze smaller ones out of the market with disastrous long term consequences to the consumer and the market . Tariffs is not the only tool available to an operator. We should not forget the wide range of services operators launch to increase stickiness to its services . The government and by extension CCK has a duty to protect the consumers and having chosen competition as a foundation to customer protection and choice in the National ICT Policy , it must safeguard the competition process. A starting point is clear boundary that defines when competition fuses into abuse and at a higher level when market failure affects competition. </SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal> </DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>I think there are several interesting points here: </DIV>
<UL type=disc>
<LI class=MsoNormal>Yes, a regulator should keep an eye on monopolistic and oligopolistic developments. But, as Michael Joseph said, dominance should only be penalised if abused, and in order to do so, this abuse needs to be defined in the regulations - which has not been done, he says, despite repeat reassurances given to him by both the Ministry of Information and the CCK (see <A href="http://www.ratio-magazine.com/201005052971/Kenya/Kenya-Safaricom-Willing-to-Sue-Against-New-Tariff-Regulations.html" target=_blank rel=nofollow>http://www.ratio-magazine.com/201005052971/Kenya/Kenya-Safaricom-Willing-to-Sue-Against-New-Tariff-Regulations.html</A>)</LI>
<LI class=MsoNormal>Celtel/Zain clearly didn't start out to be a 'feeble player', nor were they a late entrant, as the figures I cited show. So is it fair to penalise Safaricom for Celtel's inability to retain market share and capitalise on having been in the market for more than a decade? </LI>
<LI class=MsoNormal>Orange: France Telecom bid around USD100m more for Telkom Kenya than their nearest competitor in the privatisation. Was that price justified? Nobody else seems to think so, not even France Telecom anymore, since they are now reportedly trying to get some or all of that money back. </LI>
<LI class=MsoNormal>Yu: Econet couldn't get going for ages because their local partner could raise their financial contribution. Was that a sensibly chosen local partner? </LI></UL>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt">Obviously it's not ideal for the market and customers to have such limited competition, but then a) the regulation lacks a crucial element, and b) the competition seem to have been quite adept at shooting themselves in the foot. Is it fair to punish Safaricom for that? <BR><BR>Andrea </DIV>

I opine that for a true capitalist society to manifest the market should be subject to forces of demand and supply to create conducive conditions for the market to thrive and in extension to ensure its longevity.
