A number of studies show that South Africans are required to fork out more than their foreign counterparts to make telephone calls and surf the Internet. Government has reacted through reviewing its policy and the legislation governing the sector. Some changes, however, such as legalising carrying voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), have not resulted in lower prices, as it has not allowed service providers to interconnect with Telkom’s infrastructure and enable calls to be terminated on an existing landline number.
