Consumers speak out for Telecoms change

I cant say that money was well spent. I dont feel any more or any less upset about the telecom situation. How are the people involved going to measure how effective the campaign was?

I think it's important to keep in mind that the ad isn't necessarily directed at the kind of people who frequent myadsl.co.za, rather the uninformed general public, I guess.

Also, the real powerful message to the rest of SA is the fact that the current climate of dissatisfaction is strong enough to make this kind of thing possible.

It was money very well spent!

Without the ad, none of the massive amount of publicity and radio/TV exposure would have been possible.

The value of the secondary exposure far exceeds the cost of the ad.

I agree
 
I think this a job bloody well done. Now we need to keep the pressure on ICASA and the DOC.
 
I agree with the approach. Rather to focus on a few greater indisputable facts that are relevant to the greater masses than go into too much detail. I think the right balance was achieved imho. I felt angry when I read it! I'd be willing to contribute again to keep this campaign alive.

Great Job!!
 
I'll keep donating as long as they want to keep running these ads.
 
Can rpm/the admin of tag.org.za tell whether the traffic has increased since the ad?
 
<wonders how many people who berated the ad actually contributed towards it?> Just like the elections, if you don't vote, you can't complain.

Yes, I did contribute, worth every damn penny!

cheers

Respect to the guys behind this action - at least you do what you say...wish the same could be said for the government.
I think the ad may have been too dense with text for my taste, but the important thing is that you got out there with the message.

Great work!
 
Can you find the story on either IOL.co.za or News24? Other than the M&G where else has it had publicity?
 
Nearly 8 minutes on the SABC 10pm news, 702, iol, business day, news24, legalbrief...(someone else want to continue the list?...)

....Financial Mail, SAFM, Sunday Times...
....ItWeb of course....
...APC Africa ICT Policy Monitor...Balancing Act... (these are actually quite a big deal, but I wouldn't expect you to know that)...

.... want more?
