Didata lashes out (at Telkom)

Didata lashes out

In his testimony at the hearing yesterday Dimension Data services director Derek Wilcocks said that as consequence of their domination of the telecoms market Telkom had acted as a monopoly and set prices at a “floor” that could not be breached by potential competitors.

Dimension Data alone has spent between R150-million and R200m so far in legal costs. “Telkom has been and is involved in uncompetitive behaviour,” said Wilcocks. “Prices could be reduced by as much as 30% with a more level playing field.”

Wonder if this has anything to do with Telkom cutting international bandwidth charges retrospectively by... 30%?

Yep Telkom has no friends without money involved. Shame.

OK. How about a summary in bullet form?

He also said the company was doing everything in its power to create a network that was separate from Telkom.

And this can be regarded as negative how? Objectively I mean.
