With all these wear a ribbon campaigns, we the consumers might want to start our own campaign... by sending non performers ' ribbons of shame ' which can be cut out of any old clothing and then posted to whoever... be it Telkom, DoC or ICASA
Lets face we always have to hear how good some of these people or organisations are, and that they have won this award and that award, and voted best backslapper of the year for the last ten years - Well sod that, its high time to open the windows and shout out, we are as mad as hell... and while we still have to take it, now you can put these awards on your wall, or wear them in public
Would anyone like to either make up some virtual ribbons that can be emailed, or put up some names and addresses that we can send ribbons to via Post - would think Telkom, DoC and ICASA for starters
Any more ideas / reasons for the award?
Some milestones that are not great achievements and reasons for the award:
One of the Highest cost for communications in the World
The Second National Operator... was supposed to be in Action when Telkom's exclusive licence deal came to an end in May 2002... Nearly Seven years later they have still to launch commercial services nationwide
The so called e-Rate (50% discount) for schools and education facilities.. seven years and still to get off the ground
Charging for Local calls when it does not cost the service provider any extra
Stupid Usage Data Caps
Excessively high interconnection charges
