Ask the Telkom CEO your question

It's probably too late for my question/request...but if not:

Mr. September: Can you answer our questions without using the following words/phrases:
"soon", "imminent", "within the next few weeks/month/year", "Telkom is committed to", "We are waiting for", "not able to give you an answer about <insert Telkom service here> at this time/point in time/stage/moment"


A model bad answer to a question would thus be: "Telkom is committed to providing affordable bandwidth to South Africans. We are waiting for ICASA's response regarding the matter and we are thus not able to provide you with an answer at this point in time, but we believe that the matter would resolved soon, within the next year."
:cool:

At least it looks like something is going to happen.

Important !

When is Telkom going to give uncapped Internet services, in the same spirit of dialup, at a reasonable, cost effective price, which all ADSL, WiMAX and Satellite subscribers could subscribe too?

Asking them for information on something that relies on their opinion is almost useless, I'm sure their answer to a question like that would be something along the lines of "While our services is already cost effective and widely affordable we continue to lead the market with competitive prices and bringing new products to the customer. Anyone is welcome to subscribe to as many services as they would like. Telkom prides itself in bla bla bla..."

When asking them questions make sure you don't ask their opinion on whats affordable for example.

Instead maybe ask them something like,, When will Telkom provide services at prices similar to Country X? (and Country X could be a country with a similar GDP to RSA but has an open telecommunications market) Don't use Japan or some advanced country as Country X because Telkom will just go on about how that's an infair comparison.

If anyone wants to ask them questions that they won't be able to answer without looking bad you're going to have to do some reasearch on it, try and imagine how they're going to answer your question and then refine it so they can't simply slip out of it.
 
Nah, he's going to elongate it for the next few months ;)
 
Was this someone from Mybroadband:

Saw it in the news today and figured it's one of the 1-share shareholders here.
