    The most Vodacom has ever paid for an idea

    Sarcastic or a genuine compliment here?

    The most Vodacom has ever paid for an idea

    Ari Kahn admitted on 702 this morning that he never said that Makate 'stole' his idea, but apparently Vodacom admitted to him a few years ago that they had actually lifted it from MTN. What is not in dispute that it was a hugely valuable idea that generated $Billions for Vodacom. Why are they...

    The phrase "Empty vessels......" comes to mind when reading your comment. Please do your research and then re-join the debate.

    The most Vodacom has ever paid for an idea

    Lots of Vodacom 'friends' on this website. Hindsight is an exact science. It was in the very early days of telecommunications in SA and deals were done differently then. Some ideas are VERY valuable and are much better than others, like the wheel, Google search, Whatsapp, Facebook, Amazon...

    The most Vodacom has ever paid for an idea

    Bradley, sounds like Vodacom is desperate to muddy the waters again. I really hope that MyBradband is impartial and not another 'mouthpiece' for Vodacom. For everyone who wants to make an uninformed comment about the Vodacom Makate case, please read an earlier MyBroadband article, which covers...

    Vodacom Please Call Me - The truth

    It's obvious from the e-mail evidence and correspondence below that he had an agreement with Vodacom on his PCM idea, which he expected to be rewarded on when it was launched. We seem to be going around in circles here. http://www.arrowline.co.za/archives/2625

    Vodacom Please Call Me - The truth

    Ponder, please read this MyBroadband article as they are e-mails and correspondence between Vodacom and Makate at the time, dating from 2000-2001. That should clear a few arguments up about what really happened at the time between them. http://www.arrowline.co.za/archives/2625

    Vodacom Please Call Me - The truth

    No need to apologise for your English RedViking, it's better than most of the trolls here. At least you have made an effort to put a constructive contribution forward to this debate. As I said previously, hindsight is an exact science and we all know know now how successful Makate's PCM idea...

    Vodacom Please Call Me - The truth

    Solly, there must be lots of Vodacom employees registered on MyBroadband, as there are quite a few 'members' who have something negative to say about Makate and his PCM idea, which Vodacom made $Billions from. Please read up on the court transcript of Alan Knott-Craig's testimony, where he...

    Vodacom Please Call Me - The truth

    I don't think you are part of any conspiracy Jannie. As the Executive Head of Consumer Data at Vodacom, I'm sure you have come up with many innovations and strategies that than made Vodacom a lot of money over the years. It's your job. Makate came up with one of the greatest 'telecoms' ideas...

    Vodacom Please Call Me - The truth

    You are going to believe whatever you want to Solly, which is fine with me. You won't find any BS in my posts, I'm afraid. Don't blame me for your own inadequacies and please try to be more informed about the subject at hand, instead of denigrating others opinions. You will be much happier if...

    Vodacom Please Call Me - The truth

    Gentlemen, you are like a bunch of school bullies on this topic. Breathe and chill out fellas. You could be mistaken for Vodacom trolls with all the negative vibes about Makete and what's due to him from those scoundrels. I wouldn't be surprised if some of you were Byron Kennedy acolytes...

    Vodacom Please Call Me - The truth

    Solly , I've always had a passing interest in this case over the years like many people who follow the media. It had all the hall marks of a good story about the battle between a huge company with deep pockets and a guy who made them privy to an idea, where they profited to the tune of...
