>>> Low resolution version of Reynolds speech (OECD): Just over 8Mb in size Low res (8MB) Windows Media Video [Taylor Reynolds, an economist in the communications policy division of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.]

>>> Higher res version of Reynolds speech (OECD): Just over 18MB in size Higher res (18MB) Windows Media Video

Dr. Reynolds is really a good speaker and he says things the way they are. We all know what he is saying is true. Listen for yourself and decide.

Download Dr. Reynolds' presentation in PDF format.

>>> ICASA representative Miss. Cohen WMV Progressive download around 8MB in size very good audio, but low res video... [Dr Tracy Cohen, a councillor at the Independent Communications Authority of SA.]

>>> Deputy minister of Communications Roy Padayachie sums up Dr Reynolds and Dr Cohen's presentations. Low res Windows media video with good quality audio. Just under 2 MB in size... This is a humdinger in that he slams Telkom!

However, if you look at the underlying context, he's basically telling Telkom to apply modern economics rather than the "tested and tried" **** you learned at school 20 years ago.
