Hi all,
Regarding the ICASA hearings -
I was thinking that we can't let this opportunity for publicity pass us by. I think it would be a good idea if we each individually email one or two local papers and say something like:
"This week ICASA is holding public hearings on Telkom's broadband prices at the ICASA offices in JHB. It will be interesting to see what is said at these hearings. I really hope that your newspaper will carry reports on the precedings."
Maybe if we all pledge to send an email like this to at least one newspaper, then the papers will cover the hearings well. It will also let the papers know that there are many people interested in telecoms issues in SA. Plus it would give publicity to MyAdsl, and the general disatisfaction with Telkom's prices in the country. Small little actions like this could go a long way and build up the foundation from which we can fight from.
After "The Practice" (gotta watch it, James Spader is so funny!), I will email two newspapers.
Anyone who does do this, it's a good idea to come back here to this thread and say which papers you have emailed. Maybe we could try get two or three different emails to each major newspaper in the country?
