Broad Band to get cheaper!!! Hopefully

[James]

I was so pleased to read that a new wireless broad band company is comming out, hopefully by the end of this month they will get there license. They already have a test license.Especially with quotes like, it says it will work with Telkom "only as a last resort". and
"If we can get service anywhere else [other than Telkom], we will,".

They will be providing bandwidth to ISP's at first so we should see a vast improvment in prices as we currently have one of the "highest internet prices in the world". Plus being wireless in time they will give sentech comp and in doing that telkom will also have to re-think there prices. Hopefully meaning uncapped ADSL and cheaper too.

This is a good day... I wish i woke up to days like this more often.

What company is this and do they have a website?

Wireless Business Solutions (WBS) don't know about website though. Read the article in the news section.

From what I see here I think they'll still be buying BW from Telkom...

It's likely that WBS will work with a first-tier ISP, at least to begin with, as it builds its network. WBS has spoken to several, and UUNet SA is providing infrastructure for its pilot network.
