MM - I think the role of CCK should end with refereeing inter-connection
rates. Otherwise I do not think there is anything like "the price

different competencies, different efficiencies, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'>But unfortunately this is like a political
debate--- the debate will be better informed if CCK which has the mandate
can publish the price structure of a call
taking into account our situation and the market dynamics .
Certainly an operator who is innovative and brings down the ‘cost’
to for example below Ksh 0.50 should be encouraged and
protected to price that way , those however charging below ‘cost’
should be shunned because , this business tactic is not overboard and it
only takes a while when we have to pay dearly. CCK can
and should help an informed debate and confirm if the ‘cost’ figures
published by the media were accurate. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
