The report says these outdated fees favour dominant players such as Safaricom while placing smaller operators at a competitive disadvantage. The World Bank points out that the Communications Authority of Kenya has stalled the shift to cost-based MTRs, The post World Bank: Kenyans Paying Inflated Call Rates as CA Delays Mobile Tariff Reforms appeared first on Nairobi Wire.
