Telkom press release:

"Telkom would like to congratulate ICASA and the SNO Shareholders on completing the SNO licensing process and achieving this important milestone.

Telkom welcomes further competition from the SNO in what is already a vibrant and highly competitive communications market. We believe increased competition is beneficial to the economy of South Africa."
 
2 sides to this...

Its merely a formality, as telkom has plans to undermine everything the SNO wishes to accomplish...

OR...

Telkom is allready sleeping in the same bed as the SNO and Telkom isnt worried...

Yes?
 
....what is already a vibrant and highly competitive communications market.....

What the hell are they smoking? If they think this is a very competitive market, when they are the only player, what the hell will they think when VAN's can self provide, and the SNO is in full swing??

The mind boggles at the crap that comes out in these Telkom 'press releases' !

It is confirmed. Telkom marketing department employees are on crack.

We believe increased competition is beneficial to the economy of South Africa," the telecommunications giant said in a statement.

I believe that Telkom can go to hell and die. As if they give a **** about this country.

Translation: Thanks for giving us a 5 + 3 = 8 year monopoly extension ZA ... those extra tens of billions will sure come in handy as we worm our way into other market sectors! Our squads of attack lawyers and their DOC/ICASA moles are standing by to stall the SNO's operational rollout at every possible oppertunity.

What a crock! If it was a highly competitive market, prices wouldn't be so bloody exhorbitant as they are! PR spin doctors airing more garbage to "try" and promote the rapidly destructing TELKOM image.

We believe increased competition is beneficial to the economy of South Africa.
Never thought I'd agree with them. Yep, open the market! Local Loop unbundling, ISPs should be able to self provide, SAT cables national assets, etc, allow more operators in, and then hear Telkom cheer. :D
 
This confirms the rumours that they are pumping drugs into the aircon system...

What vibrant and highly competitive comms market? Unbundle the local loop, release the SAT3 cable, stop bullying everybody and we'll talk again... :mad:
 
"...a vibrant and highly competitive communications market"

My comment was to be something like morebroadband's - "what are thse okes smoking!!"
 
... we now have incontrovertible proof that Telkrap is staffed with extraterrestrials - somebody had an appropriate Borg-like sig?
 
Such as "I am Dyslexic of Borg, resilience is fertile, your ass will be laminated"?

Can't remember where I heard that one but it always makes me chuckle when I think of it. ;)
 
... yup, that's it!
/visions of Papi's head on a metal spine, a la Alice Krige as the Borg Queen...
