A lesson from Telkom.
Chapter 1.
How to screw the regulators and still get away with it
* Ease of connection -Our always-available ADSL connection is just a click away. The connection will stay live if used continuously, or timeout after 60 minutes of inactivity. It is recommended that you disconnect when you have concluded your Internet related matters for the day. A new connection is only required once a day as the network is reset each day at 00:00, disconnecting all subscribers automatically. If you are disconnected by the network, you can immediately reconnect.
* Access speed -The product is designed to be as flexible as you need, so no matter which ADSL access speed you have chosen, our Standard, Advanced or Premium services will fit your requirements.
* Great value -As an ADSL subscribers you are able to surf the internet at high-speed and download information (e-mail, images, gaming, sound and video) using you existing phone connection. There is no need for fancy equipment - just a simple ADSL modem and a reasonable PC.
* Call charges -Since your ADSL service is an always-available connection, there is no need to keep watch on time spent online. A monthly subscription fee is payable irrespective of the amount of time spent on the Internet. What needs to be watched though is the maximum allowed bandwidth usage (the cap), before a slower service is provided.

... and they get away with this. I think Telkom, Icasa and the competition board have regular three'somes.
