Corporate wars

THE ATTEMPT BY Vodacom Business to break into South Africa's connectivity market is going to be a tough nut to crack if market leader Dimension Data subsidiary Internet Solutions has anything to do with it.

Internet Solutions has an extensive network of links to corporates throughout SA, although unlike the incumbent operators, it doesn't yet have the right to self-provide its own end-to-end network. It hopes that will change with the licensing process currently under way at communications regulator Icasa so it will be able to gain access to the much-coveted WiMax spectrum. It does have existing last mile wireless offerings based on solutions over legally available spectrum (specifically, the ISM band 5.4GHz), but has also completed WiMax trials.

Bastards.
