Looks like iBusrt might just be expanding in other parts of Africa,
I realised that tradepage have registered couple of domains for iBurst which they hope will be deployed in these countries.

www.iburstbotswana.com
www.iburstnigeria.com
www.iburstghana.com

These are the one I found to be registered by tradepage, there might be more.
Going to the tradepage website i realised that the Chairman is the same guy who is also the CEO if iBurst.

Removed iBurstegypt.com as it is not registered

lol, so thats why there are "partnerships" between them and Iburst. Just to show we have friends...

The expansion seems rather huge... 5 countries to get Iburst, hey.. they should finish up here first.

Egypt should be interesting. They will have to have great prices in order to be competitve, as Egypt already has fast and quite cheap broadband. If they price and cap the same way as in SA, it would never work.
It will be interesting to see if they offer higher speeds or cheaper rates to Egypt.. then we can complain like hell for a price cut down here.

EDIT: I checked out the links.. Iburst ghana is already a fully working page, it says that they are already live in a pre launch phase. Interesting, so noone heard abotu this but htey were alraedy fully set up in Ghana.
their 1 gig month 2 month package will cost the equivilent of 665.70. AN d 3gigs is double that.. poor Ghana.
The Egypt site doesnt however work for me..?

not to worry they will do great there ... we will be paying our @$$E$ like we do with our fuel and they will get the nice low prices .... :eek:
 
I also feel they should first finish the job in South Africa, before invading the rest of Africa.

Well feul i can understand, it comes from the middle east.. easier for Egypt. But why broadband, if they can do it in... okay no wait. Its exactly the same thing.

Egypt is closer to Europe for one thing, and probably have cheap bandwidth pipes in the country, geuss its all Telkoms fault once again.

Well, that's how South Africa operate! See, our electricity, telecoms, fuel, well, anything you can think of, is more expensive than in other African countries. I guess we just love getting shafted?
 
Yep, all the state run (or influenced/previously state run) organizations screw us over. The government just loove our money.
 
Why do you think is south africa one of the countries with the most rapidly shrinking Budget deficit? WE ARE MAKING IT HAPPEN!!!
