Cell C ready for a fight

Cell C, which has always been seen as a laggard in SA’s cellphone industry, is finally starting to gain ground on its bigger, better-funded rivals: in the past year it has clawed away some market share from MTN and Vodacom.

Hedberg says Cell C will continue to do things that irk its rivals, chipping away at their market share. This includes a plan to cut prices — something it will be able to do fairly aggressively if the Independent Communications Authority of SA intervenes, as expected, in the wholesale call-termination market.

When will ICASA intervene though? When?

i think cell c is quite crappy really, and 1 of the reasons is that their understanding of per-second billing is "per-second" after the first minute. the only reason my weekend phone is cell c is they always give me better handset, which i would hav 2 fork out a fortune 2 get on voda. and then i use my weekend minutes, and no more...
