To be fair there is no reason why Telecel should demand to use Econet to promote its own growth. If the success of Telecel is dependent on Econet then that's a sad situation. I have never heard of a situation where a competitor comes to me and says I cannot grow my business because you are refusing to let me use your infrastructure. Econet are within their rights to refuse to be used because the people that Telecel is trying to sign on are actually Econet customers. Why does Telecel not use its own resources to grow its business rather than resorting to piggy backing on Econet. There are very smart people at Econet and their lawyers are equally smart so I do not see Telecel and POTRAZ winning this one. What Econet has simply done is to maintain the previous volume of Telecel to Econet traffic that existed before the Telecel promotion - the spike in volume attributable to the promotion is therefore filtered out and is not Econet's baby but Telecel's. Shandisai zvenyu - if you decide to reduce prices do so permanently and customers will naturally move.
