This is actually bad for the economy. MTN and Airtel pay a huge chunk of money in taxes which you would find pay salaries of all government employees every year. Unless URA will be able to collect the same from single small vendors which is very very hard, otherwise doing something that can negatively affect the revenue of MTN and Airtel isn't good unless you're fostering competition and at the scale of MTN and Airtel, this can only be feasible if you foster competition at the same scale. Say allowing starlink, Lycamobile etc to compete. This is a competition that can lower cost of the internet at the same time maintain the taxes collected by the government. Anything far from this is going to negatively impact tax revenue. I hate MTN and Airtel for the cost of their internet and also how they have monopolized the Telco business but I'm also a realist and can put emotions aside for the bigger picture.
