Safaricom should not be punished for dominance in market, says Collymore

File I NATION
Safaricom chief executive Robert Collymore. According to the new CCK rules, a service provider will be considered dominant in a particular segment of the market if their gross revenues exceed 25 per cent of the total revenues of all licensees.

Leading Kenya’s mobile operator Safaricom now says the new ‘competition guidelines’ announced by Communication Commission of Kenya do not declare it a dominant player thus its retail services should not be regulated.

In a statement, Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore also cited the Consultation Paper on “Regulated Services in Specific/Relevant Markets in the Telecommunications Market in Kenya” as basis for the firm’s stand. (See story)
