Why should Airtel buy AK at these prices?
KDN has a wider network than AK with deeper pockets to continue expanding...

AK & KDN are not peers.AK is an ISP while KDN is a national data carrier now.They are doing fibre even in Rwanda & Burundi and can thus offer cheaper rates than anyone else.
Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

Interesting point coz Airtel is also present in Uganda & might bid for the license [held by a Libyan firm] in Rwanda...

My understanding is that KDN will lay the fibre between BTS. No room for AK here. I (think) Essar rides on the Airtel network, so they also have their work done for them...

I am surprised that Airtel Uganda has the worst service followed by Warid telecoms(YU bigger sister)I think they may bid for the licence so as to increase their capacity.
