Telecoms big boys reinventing themselves

The heart of the problem is that fewer people are spending fewer minutes talking on their Telkom lines.

telkom needs to be analysing this problem instead of chasing gold at the end of the rainbow.

Maybe the solution is more based on the level of and cost of service provided. and maybe the same recipe for failure will dog them if the same business model is persued?

Agreed. If I was a telkom beancounter then right about now i'd start asking why people are starting to move away from my business. With their current business model they're going to turn telkom in a profitless moneytrap

Which = The End of Telkom
Which = The DoC, Government, ICASA looking like idiots
Which = The DoC, Government, ICASA blaming it all on apartheid

So either way, it's all our own fault. Well, according to the big giant head (ego?) that is government

Exactly. They'll not succeed until they clean house and bring pride into what they deliver
 
It's going to be top of the hoots if Vodacom makes a success with their fixed line as well as their cellular services, and Telkom failing miserably on both counts...

But, as Gru and bekdik pointed out, Telkom is not addressing the root cause of the problem, they're ignoring it. Simply moving over to cellular isn't going to help them... unless somebody is sadly misinformed that wimax will also support cellular services...

CellC is battling to get new customers because the market is saturated (amongst other things). Having Telkom as cellular provider will make things more interesting as there'll be 4 service providers trying to get a grip on your wallet.

Like you're getting a hole in your exhaust, but instead of replacing it with a new one, you simply turn the volume louder on your radio - until the speed cop stops you and issues you with a fine for noise pollution.
