Article in the Sunday Times by Jeremy Ord
Some Quotes:
SA needs competitive telecommunications prices, comparable to those in developed countries, with efficiency and service quality the norm not the exception
Imagine a new South African telecommunication industry comprised of an array of new brands born from an old Telkom. New players with new ideas in a revolutionised telecommunications sector — fresh, young and dynamic, and aligned to the South African spirit
The monopoly still enjoyed by Telkom on the “local loop”, the final mile or so of wires linking a telephone exchange to a home or business premises, is generally regarded as the reason why the cost of telecommunications in South Africa is above international averages.
There is no question of the economic necessity for every nation to secure a low-cost telecommunications service for all its citizens in order to become and remain competitive in today’s global economy
