SNO with no name to get going next year

The expected rival to Telkom did not say how much it would need to invest in its operations, nor did it disclose a trading name.

Lets hope it is done sooner...waiting
"The SNO will focus on the service delivery to its customers, reliability of its network and the provision of new products and services into the market. Its aim is to be the telecom partner of choice for its customers," it said.

This line reminds of one company based in Auckland Park :rolleyes:

As part of its licence obligations, it must provide internet access to 2500 government schools as well as 2500 rural clinics.

mhhh... Nice but why? Teklom is not obliged to play father Xmas moes?
The consortium has not officially commented on a legal challenge to the licence lodged by Optis, a failed bidder for a 51% controlling stake in the consortium. Optis claims that if it had known that the 51% would eventually be split up, it would have rebid for a smaller stake.

One source within the SNO said the case, to be heard in the Pretoria High Court next month, was not a major concern, as it was filed long after the prescribed timeframe for making a complaint.

One would hope that is indeed true that Optis don't have a case!

Remember that Telkom's license condition was to supply 1 point something million fixed lines in rural areas and previously disadvantaged areas.

In the process, they blew about R17 billion. So, add that to all the other billions of Rands that they have made in profit, and you come to a very big number since 1997. No wonder we're all feeling screwed.
