Heading for divorce court

Until I see much lower prices directly attributable to this increased 'competition' its all smoke and mirrors.
 
Please give me a penny for my random thoughts...

analysts think the target companies could include Verizon Business, DataPro and Internet Solutions (IS)

Verizon Business, through it parent company [MCI if I'm not mistaken], should have direct access to SAT-3, when Telkodemonopolies' SAT-3 exclusivity ends - if ever - it should theoretically already have come to an end according to the little that we know about the SAT-3 Bandwidth Illuminati agreement, would it not make more sense for Vodacom to partly buy into Verizon Business and gain semi-direct access to SAT-3 via Verizon Business, although with the other """imminent""" African submarine cables being planned, SAT-3 might not be the best way to go in the long-term...:confused:
 
I just hope Telkom sells their Vodacom shareholding too, then the real competition can begin.

If guavamint really does want to bring telecoms prices down, then forcing Telkodemonopolies to sell off its 50% shareholding in Vodacom, would be the clearest evidence to date that guavamint actually means what it says.

Only if there were no conditions attached to the sale but we all know that nothing happens without their cronies getting their share.

The clearest evidence imo would be the government selling off their shares . . . in telkom.

This is very true - I stand corrected, but wouldn't it be nice for consumers, if guavamint forced Telkodemonopolies to sell its 50% of Vodacom, and then guavamint - including the PI[n]C elephant consort, decided to sell off their shares in Telkodemonopolies - I'm sure MTN would consider buying these shares...
 
I've been having problems loading Vodacom4me.co.za all afternoon on my telkom account but not my IS one - are mommy and daddy fighting? :o
