Free OTT players a threat to MTN

Sounds like he wants the same deal as the ISP's in the US are fighting for. He wants the OTT players to pay for bandwidth.

The fat cats are worried that their dish is about to get smaller.

Data is data and the prices are already expensive. Now you must pay for premium data, because it's going to cut in to the also extremely overpriced voice airtime.

Cell C (who arguably need the customers) have gone in the opposite direction. They realise that people don't want to pay more to use their data allocation however the hell they want to.

Bad move eMpTyN. Bad move.
 
You either supply a better product or you let the competition win simple as that.

Your only interest is the end users wallet.

Let's collude to rip off the customers... Already proven illegal in the food industry and they didn't even tell us how to eat the bread they had fixed the price on!!

You've built a system that's no longer viable MTN, fix your errors or move on...
 
So basically they are crying because everyone is sending messages for free via Whatsapp and they losing out (SMS revenue). So now they want to extort revenue to make up for this :confused:
 
“On one hand, we need to stress that there should be no free ride for OTT players, mobile network operators will protect their customer base and revenue streams. Rules of engagement will have to be defined between operators and OTT players,” said Farroukh.

Or else what ?
 
This suggestion should be rejected right now. And never be spoken of again.

Shame on you MTN for even mentioning it!
