Of course a 0 tarrif would make a difference. Looking at the environment 2day I must admit that branding plays a much bigger part in attracting customers than just price. I have used all three networks and quality-wise - I hand it to Celtel, probably because there are fewer subscribers.
I think the inter-connection fees have to be regulated and infact enforced by UCC. The problem is that the individuals there might not be 'interested' in doing so. And of course operators such as MTN are using that tariff to block interconnection. You could argue that they are behaving like M$! Since all networks are local UCC can help by insiting that users pay the same for the interconnection as they pay on their network (problem solved). Then let the operators fight their marketing/branding/pricing wars.
I think that's the way to go. It's only UCC that can do the job as I can't see how the operators can agree on that between themselves especially given how some of them exploit the situation.
