This very website was forged in the ramblings of GVT's horrible ignorance and even worse decision making back in the day starting with Telkom and Sentech.
I joined in 2004 and the "digital activism" was rife lol.
Every single able, sane, educated and digital mind who understood the importance of the internet knew where it was going and what needed to be done to reap the rewards, except the people in charge of making those decisions <Viva Mbeki and Zuma
... thanks...>
On a postive note. Look at where MyADSL/Broadband is today and have a look at our vibrant and ever growing South African digital community. A far car from 2002. Our digital economy is rife and growing. And all thanks to the efforts made at making internet cheaper for the masses. *Hint * Hint ANC and Minister of Comms
Internet will help us grow this country. Reliable, affordable and consistent internet will help us re-invest locally and create jobs. And electricity will help keep us all switched on no pun intented
We just asking for the basics
Please get the basics right.
-> Heres to the fact that in 2015 you can get a quality internet connection for an affordable price (albeit still too expensive comparatively)
-> Heres to the fact that in 2015 you can buy a internet abled computer for less than $35 (opening up the markets of IOT) which is going to explode and make the internet even cheaper (hopefully...)
-> And heres to the fact that MyBB forums and others like it will expose more and more people to the digital world online and hopefully fostering innovation and R&D.
The SA Gonvernment really needs to resolve the broadband penertration rate in this country. Hope it happens sooner rather than later. Or maybe Facebook and Google will come to our rescue with drone and baloon flying marvels ? Who knows what technological innovations await us in the near future?? So very exciting...
Viva MyBB! Viva!
If only we could send this info graphic back to 2002 in a delorian lol!
