Ja and the biggest shareholder is government; wouldn't want to damage their cash cow, I mean, who's going to pay for the mercs and the trips to dubai otherwise?Could't someone possibly let these guys know that I***a has no hope in hell of convincing Telkom to drop prices.
By the way isn't ICASA a "regulator". Shouldn't that mean that they could tell Telkom what to do right now!!! if it were necessary? or is it because Telkom is a public company with shareholders that makes life so difficult?
And yes notice in Europe regulator coughs and everyone pays attention before having their prices and practices mandatory changed. Right now.
