"When is a 3G network not a 3G network? When it's used for voice calls, according to the Commerce Commisison...The Commission has released its recommendation on mobile termination rates, almost halving the price from 27 cents per minute to 15 cents. Currently, the telcos charge each other to terminate calls to a mobile phone — putting New Zealand at the expensive end of the OECD, according to the Commerce Commission."
 
It's a mentality thing

I have always maintained that it's not about the number of degress you have, or how much money you earn, it is about how your brain reasons and operates.
Of course, the brain of SA Telecomunication operators still doesn't appear to be where it should be. Robin Hood is still out there in the form 'Telkom & Buddies' i.e. Vodacom, MTN and Cell C.

This is how the SA Telecommunications brain should be operating, as quoted from the article.
"A key issue now will be to ensure that the savings are passed on to end users and not retained by the fixed-line phone companies, so that the exceptionally high prices New Zealanders have been paying for fixed to mobile calls are brought down to an internationally-acceptable level."
