Safaricom

has been forced into a joint bid for one of two Ethiopian telecoms licences next year due to the high entry costs that are expected to breach the Sh100 billion mark.

The Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed firm said that it will bid in partnership with South Africa’s Vodacom, which owns a 35 percent stake in Safaricom.

Acting Safaricom CEO Michael Joseph said that the high entry costs had prompted the joint bid as it seeks to replicate its Kenyan success in the neighbouring country.

Ethiopia has a not so unique developing country problem where you can make billions in Birr profit but you can't repatriate the dollars. Hope Safaricom is factoring in this risk in Their bid.

The license fee will be paid in dollars which will help the public finances.
Then there will be the rollout of the network which will help in bringing in FDI.

The next step after opening up of the telecoms sector will be financial sector so as to attract dollar inflows.

Maybe no more special dividends but normal dividend pay out ratio should remain the same
