The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) is extremely generous to its problem child Telkom compared with French and Mauritian regulators, which also set prices on South Africa’s key Internet link to the rest of the world, the SAT-3 undersea cable.

All three regulators control prices on SAT-3, setting tarriffs for South Africa, Réunion and Mauritius respectively.

The South Africa bandwidth price on SAT-3 is 5,5 times that of Réunion and more than twice as expensive as Mauritius.

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out hate between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

M&G: Telkom's costly Réunion: Mweb joins the verbal party, Good!

The Mail & Guardian attempted to get a response from Icasa but all officials were out of the office, attending a planning session in the Drakensberg Mountains.

G@d they just came from holiday! Now they have an official one too.

GVT's new definition of "Work and Play" more play than work, that’s why nothing gets done. Wonder if TELKOM have representation at this party, maybe even sponsoring the whole bl@@dy fiasco, handing out freebies for the new favors to come
