Kenya’s telecoms market was the fastest growing in sub-Saharan Africa, but the country had not yet had the chance to properly develop its regulatory framework, and retail prices were not falling at the expected rate. The CCK was determined to put in place a more robust and forward-looking framework for interconnection and retail price regulation, and to realise the benefits as fast as possible.
Analysys was awarded a six-month contract to evaluate the regulatory price control regime for telecoms services in Kenya. The fundamental objective of this study was to devise a set of recommendations for regulatory intervention in retail and wholesale telephony services in Kenya, to best encourage effective competition, and ultimately produce the optimal outcome for Kenyan telephony consumers and the market as a whole.
