Econet has a duty of ensuring calls from Telecel get through to their subscribers. This is usually governed by regulations from Potraz. Econet cannot disconnect Telecel willy nilly...if that was the case they would have succeeded in disconnecting NetOne. At the end of the day Econets gets its interconnection fee from Telecel so they have no financial loss. In the current setup Telecel gains financially since it will be paid by Econet for calls that are are getting through to its customers. Obviously with this setup Econet stands to gain by discouraging people from switching to Telecel from Econet since they will not be able to call econet subscribers. This is just plain old sabotage at work.
