In the case of South Africa I know what is going on. The government owns the phone company there. There is a conflict of interest. The regulators get paid by the same people running the phone company. It would be like AT&T being owned by the FCC or vice-versa. How hard do you think we would have it here then? I am guessing that other countries in Africa have similar conflicts of interest or corruption which leads to businesses being unable to work in an environment where regulations are a moving target or they are only favorable when the right people get a secret payday.
