Industry and government have failed to provide the best broadband: Knott-Craig

“Prices have to be at least half of what they are today.”

Omg, 2030 goals now....what happened to 2015 or 2020?

[alt21]

Knott-Craig said that even though he believes prices in SA are good, he believes they need to be at least half of what they are today.

"Knott-Craig said that even though he believes prices in SA are good, he believes they need to be at least half of what they are today."

Ummm...surely that can't be right?! Sounds like the Chewbacca defense to me!

EDIT: *snap!*

In the last 10 years the South African telecommunications industry and government have failed miserably in providing consumers with the best broadband in terms of speed and quality, Alan Knott Craig,

Alan, you've been in a position of power in the telecoms market for a long time, and even became a power house since 1993 with vodacom. You've had a good number of years to shape and push telecoms and you (along with a handful of other people) are the reason we are at this point today.

Knott-Craig said that “2030 is going to be a data world.”

Much sooner than that..

[ToxicBunny]

The world is already a data world... whether people admit it or not.

Agreed.. Promises promises and still no joy! Why 2030 what will happen then?!?! WHAT ABOUT NOW!!! Get this running now and enjoy a happy and faster growing economy.. Stop putting things off for the next 30 years for ADSL sakes!! We are not getting younger damnit!!

[Mineer]

Lets who can fill in the blank

Industry and government have failed to provide the best broadband, and I Knott-Craig is doing .......... about it

[siraman]

If it is or is.. going to be a data world, flippin give it to us in spadefuls and at prices we can afford for the whole month!!!

He talks too much...Action AKC,Action. In fact with WACS coming on line next month, why don't you make good with at least 30% reduction to rival the IPC cuts on ADSL...or better that(as you admitted,you've "ravaged" the consumer the last 10 yrs)

Knott-Craig said that even though he believes prices in SA are good, he believes they need to be at least half of what they are today.

So....as a start, how about a half reduction on the following..CellC Smart Data Bundle 3GB = R400 to CellC Smart Data Bundle 3GB = R199..Thank you very much.

Talk is Cheap.
