iBurst MD resigns

iBurst MD Alan Knott-Craig has resigned, citing family commitments

 

[DblD]

Daddy is gone so he cant hold his own any more..

 

[Borrels]

What a crappy excuse given for resigning. Did he not think about the commuting before deciding to move to the cape? He should just say that he won't disclose why he is resigning.

 

[HBee]

With the promise of bigger and cheaper bandwidth caps just around the corner, he is jumping ship before everyone finds out how crappy a network he built.

 

[Arthur]

C'mon, guys. AK-C might well be genuine in this - if his reasons are true they are to be celebrated in this age where family is in decline. Good for him - I hope it's true.
Also, he didn't build the iBurst network, but took over when the job was almost completely done by others.

 

[Balstrome]

10 to 1, he has an appointment with Forbes International.

FOCL. Stupid joker. I wish my old man was a multi-millionaire that gave me millions to start a company. I'd be rich then too. Dumbass.

 

[Netguy]

The real reason for his resignation is likely to surface sooner rather than later

 

[risingtide]

What does that say about the capabilities and use of technology? The CEO of a telecommunications company cannot use it to communicate and manage effectively?

I burst has a dying technology...1mb/s compared to 3G's 4mbps for a little more money.
Better coverage on 3G...

I-burst as a technology is dying, their towers will be worthless soon. They tried WiMax, but the uptake is slow, as the technology is simply too expensive and unreliable for the customer.

Their bad-debtors book is growing.

They grew mainly by having dealers (such as @lantic) increasing their database. Dealers invested time and money connecting clients to I-Burst because they are getting good commission as the margins are currently healthy.

Seacom coming in, bandwidth price dropping, margins dropping. I-Burst will be losing customers as clients move towards 3G (see the current uptake on 3G!)

Telkom will be reducing their pricing on DSL too..and having wider coverage....

I see no future for I-Burst, neither not AK-C. He's surely making the right decision by jumping ship before it sinks.

As for him moving to Cape with his family, couldn't they find a better excuse? That excuse is totally lame!

Can someone please post links to photo's of Snr and Jnr? Not hundreds on which is which

 

[DJNgoma]

In the USA 1Mbps isn't even considered broadband, maybe the next MD will remove the crap thats in place these days with iBurst.

 

[kingmonty]

iBust just became another vodacom outlet anyway. Most of their radio ads were punting 3G connections these days....

I-Burst and AK-C are both so yesterday - IMHO doesn't deserve the space on MyBB...
