The SA government wants to decrease unemployment .... well maybe they need to look into this study and finally come to their senses and open up the market.

But that would imply that government would actually have to work at one of thier promises

Jip, that's the problem: government and work don't really like each other!

well it is election time ... have u noticed how all of a sudden ... all the roads seem to be getting 'done up'. I have noticed this behaviour for every election since 1994 .... really ridiculous ....
I think its time we as the countries IT ppl ... form a union and go on strike ... as that is the only thing they understand ...
can u imagine ... if all the IT ppl went on strike .. that would cripple any country ....
I know its a very very very long shot ... but it would really b kewl to see

Well, lucifir, count me in! While you're about it, please also create a consumer body, and get all other unions to opt into that as well. Now THAT's going to give us power!

 

[lucifir]

well its an idea with potential ... think about it ... we all generally get annual leave ... lets say we were to all take leave on the same day ... thats a lot of computers with no support ....
as for the consumer body ... I think debbie2 is sorting that out ... but if not, I am more than willing to kick some government a$$

Please be careful with your words cause that kind of talk won't help us in the fight in bringing cheap broadband to everyone.
