What would that mean for Equitel

Not due to dominance but abuse of it.

Hahaha what Airtel wants is for CA to tell Safaricom to share a portion of its subscribers and prevent it from registering new ones. Safaricom is a brand trusted so much and people just keep going to it since for majority of the people their safaricom phone number is part of their identity just like the identity card....

Instead of threats and complaints, airtel should up its game and improve its crappy network

The fact of the matter is the interests of the government and its citizens, and the growth of any industry, should surpass that of one company.

If MTN/Airtel/Vodafone can compete quite well in Uganda or Airtel/Orange/Vodacom in Tanzania, what insight do we have in Kenya that long term will yield greater growth by having one player? Narrow-sightedness.

SafCon Should work even harder for dominance so that others can up their game.

But on another interesting note is helios bid for orange with their long relationship with equity and now wananchi group, plus hosting the transmitter masks.
