For a man like Michael Joseph who according to me is a strategist who knows what steps to take and when to do it, it appears rather unfair that competitors might face easier terms to roll out 3G services within the country.
Michael Joseph, CEO, Safaricom Ltd, has asked the government, specifically the licensing and regulatory commission, CCK to treat each operator equally and charge new players same fees Safaricom paid for their 3G licence, a whooping $25 million.
Its a nice thing that Safaricom has served us with all its might, while enjoying a monopoly and making a killing out of it. Safaricom has so far recovered their license fee and made more than enough profits from the users by over charging and in my view, we should let other players get easier terms since they have lesser subscribers and times have changed. Bandwidth is cheaper and more available too.
I really do not think its fair to the consumers not to allow the other players come in with easier terms because Safaricom will continue to control the prices.
As much as Safaricom has the best mobile internet service, its also the most expensive available. CCK, do us good by licensing other players and lets see where this takes our country.
