Nope, people want to get rich quick everywhere, the difference here is that companies get away with ripping the public off because regulators don't do their job.

R600 p/m is ridiculous :P What would be stupid is if anyone actually uses this service for that price.

Is 3G dead ???.
From slashdot.org
The emergence of DVB-H explains a puzzling purchase made last year by Crown Castle of Houston, Texas. The company, which runs the BBC’s transmitter network in the UK, paid $12 million for a 5-megahertz slice of coast-to-coast radio spectrum in the US. At the time no one knew why. But Crown Castle transmitters near Pittsburgh are already broadcasting DVB-H to prototype Nokia mobile TV phones. That purchase may turn out to be an amazing bargain, considering other operators paid billions for 3G licenses which were originally meant to deliver video services.
