maybe it's actually the high costs involved? thanks to telkom. right now food on the table is more important for poor people that internet access!

"The election of a new government provides an opportunity to look at the policy framework with fresh eyes and to consider the inter-related components needed to develop a coherent national broadband strategy."

A bit optimistic there aren't we .. ?

How long will this forum take to deliver 5c/MB on 3G ?

Optimism was the main theme in the article.

IMO 5c /meg is still to expensive even for 3G. I want at least 30Gig for R500 for 3G and R300 for 30Gig DSL

Me too - but my neighbours thinks funny of me going every where with my DSL extension cable trailing me.

Government must make the spectrum needed for wireless broadband available - timeously, equitably and affordably - to maximize the rapid deployment of infrastructure across the whole country;

How must they do that ?? What pie in the Sky . Even if spectrum is available for WiFi they still need cheap access.
