ICT secretary Fred Matiang�i has vowed to tie the renewal of Safaricom�s licence to the voice quality checks that show the mobile phone operator is non-compliant.<br>
Dr Matiang�i said the government and the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) will not negotiate on the voice quality standards.<br>
....<br>
�I don�t understand why an operator would like to negotiate a licence condition. There are only two options here, either comply or step out of the business,� Dr Matiang�i told the Business Daily on the sidelines of the launch of the electronic filling of returns by insurers to the Insurance Regulatory Authority.<br>
