ICASA raises alarm over possible collusion between Vodacom and MTN

• ICASA has raised an alarm over possible collusion between Vodacom and MTN due to identical pushback and similar product offerings.
• The identical pushback and similar product offerings from Vodacom and MTN suggest possible collusion, according to ICASA Councillor Dikeledi Catherine Mushi, who made the observation during a presentation to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies.
• ICASA has not conducted any studies into the trends, but the regulator will investigate the issues if potential collusion is confirmed, with the Competition Commission also involved in the potential inquiry.
