Can't wait.
Anybody know when consumers will be able to reap the benefits (if any)?
When the ISPs launch their commercial product offerings after the service has launched commercially... probably September/October some time (that's how it was with Seacom).Originally Posted by DarkStreet
Im surprized....did not know Vodacom a investor in the Essay cable. I have been looking towards 2011 for da wacky WACS to land...but now I see Vodacom is part of Essay too. Interesting.
Whateva.....Whateva........I DO WHAT I WANT!
Yep, they is all there!
Neotel, Telkom, Vodacom and MTN
There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity
Uncapped round 2. But this time with more capacity and redundancy. IS clients will finally start to see a difference, too little too late though...............
Yeah I see that too now. I really hope that Vodacom comes up with some good data deals soon.
Eventually!
