Ok, but how do you recoup the Bandwidth costs then

 

[Vice]

I'd really love to have free data, but how are they to make it happen, and when?

Do what Telkom Wholesale (Openserve) does and charge ****ed up for line rental, provide 0 support and never maintain infrastructure.

They're not and likely never.

Our goal is to make sure that everyone has access to this basic human right that is connectivity,” said Missaikos.

It's my basic human right to have unlimited porn.

riiiiight.... we'd all like everything to be free, as it is already seemingly the culture here to demand demand and want everything to be free.
but to be realistic, it costs money to provide it, somebody has to pay. so just provide it at a decent price, not out to make unreasonable profit
to make it free will just end up like all the other 'free' services our gov provides, you get what you pay for, just go experience a gov department like state hospital to see how nice free health service is.

Perhaps by charging for Over-The-Top services..

Definitely not bandwidth

you and me both... we definitely not getting value for our cash... so imagine what it would be like if it was really free...
but to the lots of folks not paying tax its free, similar people wanting the free data... and the experience of free services is generally not nice
