Competition to Telkom

Telkom competitors now have licences, but will they compete?

 

[Tweak]

They have lisences but they stil have to buy their data from Telkom. I wish someone would make a documentary one of these days, to explain exactly how companies have to go to work, in order to get the data from overseas to your premises.

That way we could all become a bit wiser and more informed consumers.

Well, they can apply to make use of sattelite bandwidth if they have the membership size.
Previously they could not even apply.

But would it be competitive?

The irony is that VANS effectively now have the same rights as Neotel, which paid R100m for its licence.

This is getting tired - very tired!!!

Neotel also received large chunks of wireless spectrum, which is in huge demand.

IMO Neotel's licence fee can largely be attributed to the spectrum it received, and a far smaller portion of that ZAR100m can be attributed to the licence to operate as the SNO that Neotel received from !CASA.

Put a pricetage on the wireless spectrum that Neotel controls and things will become a lot clearer.

neotel is the second fixed line operator. Why aren't they providing us with adsl yet?

Aren't they doing something along that line with MTN/Verizon? They are going to be landing a new undersea cable here soon, I know that much.

Imagine a nice cigar lounge somewhere in Pretoria or Sandton. Two people in suits are sitting at a table smiling at eachother. They just got to an agreement.

That is why...

Holdsworth and his competitors are holding thumbs.

Stop holding thumbs and start building. If you build it, they will come...

 

[Tweak]

Wish one day they would stop asking for line rental charges and just allow us to pay for ISP's like they do in europe.

By the way Too4 I fixed your sig for you

For the same cost of an ADSL line (512Kb/s) here, in Germany one can get a 16Mb/s(uncapped) line

Where is the justice in this world?
