Great to see such developments...but still SA web need time and bandwidth to grow.
My question is, are these guys selling too soon or shud we have a different metric system for ZA start-up? My point is this, in the states and the ohter lands flowing with "milk and bandwidth", guys and gals tend to sell once they are seriously huge(In membership Numbers).
Certainly there is potential in ZA but the cost of bandwidth will always come out tops..why shud every post end up being a rant about bandwidth and Telkom...Aaarg!

QFT
Telkom is killing everything/everyone for their profits. Microsoft don't even have Xbox Live in SA [I can put R100 on it that Telkom's expensive bandwith cost is one reason].
It's not worth to host in SA.
Interesting point. Many people expect a broadband boom in 2009 with the arrival of SEACOM, and then a subsequent boom in Internet usage and hence website value. Others believe that websites in SA will only reach their potential in 5 years (looking at International trends. The fact is that these guys are getting money to grow their websites, and without that money they may not have reached their full potential.
