Probably worthwhile to (re)visit this post from late 2013 about the MTN/Rocket deal @oothenigerian: Why the MTN – Rocket Internet Deal Worries Me. – OoTheNigerian
What if for MTN/Millicom subscribers to browse/shop on Jumia does not cost you any bandwidth/money and opening the Konga.com homepage wipes out 50MB? Where do you think people will go shopping? …This no longer becomes a level playing ground. With this deal, “level don change”.
Of course, I will have to fearfully salute the Rocket guys…Can you blame them if they are within the law?
The way forward? Those that are policy experts are better versed on how to allow the ’free market’ operate within the context of avoiding monopolies that harm the consumer.
