It might be a good idea to add the Hellkom methodology of bringing a % of GDP factor into the X as well (that is if it is not here yet)
This could be called an "affordability factor"

Looking at formula at the moment...
Just one quick comment:
We all agree that Telkom plays a big role in our economic growth, I'd guess Telkom would be the first to admit this.
It's also a relatively safe assumption that any improvements in our telecom industry will have a positive effect on economic growth. The scope off this economic growth spin off isn't clear though.
So hear is my argument: EKN101:
Cheaper Telecom Rates >> Inc in Telecom availability >> Inc in GDP >> Inc in Telecom uptake >> More profit for Telkom
My problem with the formula is that they are having GDP at a fixed rate. The model must be developed to allow for the GDP growth spin off.
