Yeah, 2002 is perhaps an overreaction.
But, just after Telkom Mobile's launch, if I remember correctly around 2012, they did have quite a few staff members who walked our neighbourhoods' streets, knocking on doors and informing people that they will no longer be installing fixed lines, neither repairing any fixed lines and that everyone will be moving towards those cordless phones. In the same time they killed off ADSL and thousands of people in our area were left without Internet connection for some years. By 2019 Evotel became the only services provider in our area and they have probably all households signed up with them. Telkom did nothing up to today to offer any type of service or competition.
They killed themselves off.
