I'm afraid you guys might be holding the wrong end of the stick. All those who laid their own infrastructure did so at their own behest and more out of ego trips and misguided efforts to create "shareholder value".

Kenya's policy framework is probably one of the best in Africa (if not the best) and gives any player in the market free hand to set up their business model and execute it. There are some actors who are quietly making very good profits and offering incredible prices simply because they decided to lease infrastructure rather than make huge capital outlays on infrastructure build.

We should blame the operators' lack of strategic, tactical and downright practical planning for the continuing "high" prices....
