[Roadrunner]

We are falling behind the rest of Africa (never mind the rest of the world) at breakneck speed.

This is just a pilot, same as MTN SA's pilot

Botswana is probably better off than SA.

They don't have an nest of insatiable parasites at the helm.

[wily me]

We are probably paying for it?

You reckon?

Go check your facts on their economy.

No sweat, I just asked a question

Nope, Mascom is doing really well.

Botswana has always attracted me as a country. I would love to go visit.

Botswana is practically first world. I'll move there if I could.

They've got some tough business and ownership laws though.

Means nothing.

Don't knock our networks either as its obvious you know nothing about how 3/4G it works. CellC can easily bump their tower speeds and this can all be done offsite. Also end-user hardware is the deciding factor and market availability.

good for them.

4g is ot good for our enviroment.

I say everyone with money and a hope for a better life and who hates the ANC should move to Botswana and develop that country. It would make the ANCYL very happy and also give the ANC a chance to run SA by themselves.

[Mr.CookieMonster]

Im happy for Botswana, I hope their 4G really turns out to be a success and it must be affordable.

On the other hand, Im not sure if SA's 4G will be ready by 2014, it seems its going to be a long while.

..when you say this, are you talking same technology, same frequency? Otherwise I highly doubt this is true....everyone is saying it, but I still dont see anyone doing it....
