<div dir="ltr">Apologies for cross posting.</div>
<div dir="ltr">This discussion seems to have refused to die. :-)</div>
<div dir="ltr">My humble contention is again that Market Forces and a gentle regulatory hand will be better than this poison pill that the CS seems determined to shove down Safaricom's throat.</div>
<div dir="ltr">As for the regulators, the fact that two govt agencies seem at loggerheads on this issue can only augar well for this country - Competition has checked into Government! :-)</div>
<div dir="ltr">One last thing - I'm curious as to the Market leadership status at Airtel's other Africa presence. Anyone has those stats at hand? </div>
