I don't quite understand, is this only for schools/government buildings?

What happens when competent people are in charge.

Well at least they seem to be doing something, the rest of SA will just suddenly have 100% coverage by 2020

Initial role out is to schools/government buildings. Once that is in place they will then expand to every house

I'll move to the cbd when that happens.

Old news - but at least this time we go some input on timeframes.
In the meantime - I'll be trying to dig up DFA's cable that's passing by area

If it's too good to be true, it's happening in the Western Cape only.

Western Cape and their stupid drivers can kiss my rear end

If they pull off something like 1Gps infraco to business, CT will quickly evolve into the new JHB.

Winde said that the Western Cape Broadband PPP has been formally registered at National Treasury’s PPP unit and a Project Officer has been appointed.

Is this the weak link? Telkom going to be protected?:erm:

Hhmm.....and yet the DOC states by 2020 every South African will have access to a 256k line......shame, that won't even be fast enough to open websites in the near future considering everything is going HD....can you imagine.....it will be like trying to watch an HD video on youtube with a dial up modem in today's perspective lol.

Every mayor that has been in charge of Tshwane for the past 15 years have been promising this, but that is just as far as it got.

 

[2024]

This is so annoying... they barely announced this project and look how far they are already? What am I going to do with all these "IBIWISI" and "imminent" comments?

Sigh, I'd better go find a Gauteng or Telkom thread...

Or people just vote correctly.

 

[BeVonk!]

... and the ANC hates it when these things happen in the WC/CT ... "Why can't the WC/CT be like the rest of us?!!!"
