MyWireless: For the First Time in Africa, Reliable, Affordable Broadband Connectivity
South Africa
Internet access in Africa used to be regarded as among the most expensive and unreliable in the world. Due to bandwidth restrictions, the reality of Internet connectivity in South Africa had long been characterized by low-speed, unreliable connections at an exorbitant and fluctuating price. Now, technological advances and a new regulatory framework have enabled Sentech to launch the first true broadband wireless service offering, capable of delivering unrestricted, high-speed, mobile, always-on Internet access at an affordable monthly cost. Launched in January 2004, Sentech announced that it intends to build a network that would bring the service to millions people across the country. Using a small USB - or Ethernet - connected desktop modem or convenient PCMCIA card, subscribers can access the Internet reliably and affordably from home, work, and everywhere in between, even while moving.
 
"low-speed, unreliable connections at an exorbitant and fluctuating price" - sounds about right, dun't it?

That's just market-speak. Unfortunately the masses out there will read it and believe it. Methinks IP Wireless should remove it, until such time as their technlogy is proven to actually deliver that promised...
 
if i had read this article out of context i would have belived they were refering to sentech as the offender
 
"capable of delivering unrestricted, high-speed, mobile"
