Would broadband prices in South Africa ever compete with international rates?
 
With Afrihost looking to pioneer the internet age in South Africa, How would you view net neutrality and would you support this as an ISP?
 
How is Afrihost tracking against its set revenue targets over the last 5 years?
 
Do you honestly believe South Africa's economy will ever recover? Or are you on a slippery downward slope?
 
What is the new "ground breaking" technology that we should all buy the minute it comes to market?
 
What was the trigger that helped you believe you could be a CEO in one of the countries biggest ICT companies? When did you know?
 
There will be no doubt a lot of technical and account related questions so I thought I`d ask something a bit out of the norm.

Has Afrihost ever thought of using decommissioned hardware for non financial gain projects like SETI@Home and what is the general consensus around intelligent life outside our solar system from Afrihosts management?
 
Who is/was your business mentor that you modeled your own career on?
 
What have you learned in the last year that will shape your company for the next?
 
Is AfriHost working on innovative solutions to improve the service to it's clients? If so can you give us some details?
 
Does Afrihost offer a technology incubator that facilitates the birth and growth of innovation and thought-leaders to bring new technologies to life?
 
What inspires and motivates you to keep pushing the boundaries and excelling from the norm of internet services? Particuarily as an entrepreneur and CEO as well as a tech enthusiast.

What should young kids, fresh out of school go and study to ensure they have greater job opportunities?
 
Gian, firstly well done on building a truly world class ISP. Afrihost has made bold steps into Mobile and I think there are few further places where you make a huge impact. The first is offering competitive handsets with your mobile contracts, the second is wifi everywhere (ala AlwaysOn) with existing Afrihost data and the third is convergence product similar to what Telkom is doing but in true AH disruptive style. What do you think?
 
What is Afrihost doing in terms of giving back or offering support to new startups. Can you mentor startups that want to model your business?
