Pricing is paramount here. Cannot see anyone paying R65 per GB to watch MTV on a small screen.

I wonder how Vodacoms prices will compare to Vodafones.

Currently there are 3 Packs each costing £5 per month.

Pack 1:Sky News, Sports and Factual Pack
Sky News (live), Sky Sports News (live), Discovery Factual; CNN (live), At the Races (live), Bloomberg (live), The History Channel, National Geographic Channel2.

Pack 2: Sky Music & Entertainment Pack
Sky One, MTV1, Cartoon Network, Bravo, Livingtv, Nickelodeon, Sky Movies, Discovery Lifestyle, Living TV, Paramount Comedy Channel, The Biography Channel

Pack 3: Variety pack
Fashion TV, Chilli Extreme and Channel 4

What pricing and channels is Vodacom starting off with?

South African 3G subscribers cannot make video calls across the networks as MTN Group (MTN) and Vodacom are yet to effect the relevant interconnection agreements.

Strange ... managed a Vodacom to MTN video call (JasJar -> 6680) two days ago ... dialed by mistake???
