Cell C wants affordable roaming agreements to compete with MVNOs

Cell C has said it wants network roaming agreements with reasonable discounts to form part of pro-competitive remedies aimed at addressing the structure of the mobile broadband market in South Africa.

These comments came during the company’s presentation at ICASA’s public hearings on its Discussion Document on the Market Inquiry into Mobile Broadband Services.

This document sets out ICASA’s preliminary views on the definition of relevant mobile broadband services markets and the effectiveness of competition within these markets.

Cake and eat it?

Doesn't work that way.

Oh for pete sake, you decided to decommission your radio network and now you're crying that being an MVNO is too expensive. Looking at national roaming is also fallacious. Cell C and Telkom had the opportunity for mutual roaming but for some reason neither considered this. Now others like Rain will pass you by.
