Interesting article but I wonder how many people use NFC able devices in SA, example if market share is 10 Million people out of that 10M how many people use NFC smart devices?
I need clarity regarding this "Home Flexi prepaid LTE" is it top up contract or Cell C prepaid subscribers can buy this bundles?
Is it tower locked or you can use this data bundle on the go?
Can you be able to use smartphone to connect to the internet or is limited to selected routers?
You won't get user friendly coverage map, liquid sucks they are expensive and fail to launch fully detailed South African coverage map
They rather mention we operate in ..... African countries, we don't want that we need coverage map for SA don't tell us about other countries
True but FTTH is too limited just compare rain's current 5G coverage to FTTH coverage in all 4 metropolitan Municipalities covered by rain
5G has large footprint
Talking about Spotify premium why Tymebank and Vodacom charge extra R6 for Spotify subscription? This don't make sense unless Spotify don't have local office in SA, even Netflix subscription seem cheaper because you don't pay extra R6
Am more interested in upcoming roll out area's I suspect it won't be really underserved areas I have feeling those new markets are covered with small FNO infrastructure
I get little confused by mybroadband articles regarding rain and Vodacom agreement, last article mention that Vodacom is roaming on rain's LTE band 38 because Vodacom don't have their own LTE band 38 spectrum, today article only mention LTE band 3 so is Vodacom roaming on rain's LTE band 3 and...
So can we expect aggressive coverage roll from you or you just open doors for Supersonic to dominate Northern Provinces with Air Fibre?
Maybe you need to investigate Air Fibre too and partner with Vodacom to use their Tower's (1000 sites)
Fair price is to offer:
10Mbps DL 5Mbps UL for R399 PM...
I don't trust Liquid Intelligent Technologies they might get spectrum and lease it to highest roaming bidder, don't give them even 2mhz bandwidth
If they do try to compete they will be the most expensive Operator with fancy explanation "enterprise wireless" where you pay R999 for 100GB fixed-LTE
