    MTN South Africa reports revenue and subscriber growth for 2023

    Revenues are up courtesy of contract increases and Supersonic clawing money from former customers. Oh, and the customers who don't complain about the R5 daily service charges on their account.

    Economist - Load-shedding will be negligible by 2025

    It's not energy added to the grid, it's energy being removed. No energy supplier will see that income again unless private generation is heavily regulated and you are forced into grid-tie with feedback laws. 19.3GW between 2025 and 2030 is also not realistic because grids are at max capacity...

    I will refer back to my previous post: https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/multichoices-big-arpu-problem.1215619/post-30364853 The writing has been on the wall for a year. If they don't figure out mitigations soon that stop the average subscriber revenue from falling, major restructuring...

    PS5 Dominates in the States

    Literally everyone wants to be Nintendo. The brand power is huge, they never make a loss on hardware, and their games never lose value to second-hand market pressure. Microsoft is forced to amortise production costs for first-party games that launch day one on Game Pass, because physical...

    Chinese EV startup with 1,000km batteries plans to go public

    WeLion will get to the 1000km mark using a solid state battery that costs as much money as the car Toyota plans to build that has that same range capability. And then they'll be pushing out a new car out the factory every 89 seconds, and it will still take less than one day to build one from...

    Herotel reports it now passes 500,000 stands, targeting a million in 3-5 years

    I'm perfectly happy with my 100Mbps plan on Herotel Fibre, and ruining the service by having it bought out by CIVH should never be on the table. Herotel is profitable, had minor increases on their packages for this year, and does not penalise customers moving up or down their product stack to...

    Gmail gets verification badges to help you spot scammers

    You also have to go through the effort to document that you own the trademark or IP for the logo that is displayed in the avatar area. If you do that, you're committing fraud. This is going to make for a very interesting time for ad companies running services, like Mailchimp, as part of the...

    South Africans want the rich to pay more taxes: survey

    Do you really believe that most of the people standing in a queue for their SASSA payments are not working because they don't want to?
