iBurst plans to take on Telkom

[SwaziSeedless]

"What are we going to do tonight, iBrain?"
"Same thing we do every night, iPinky, try to take over the World."

"iPinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"I think so, iBrain, but Zero Mostel times anything will still give you Zero Mostel."

Later:

"Are you pondering what I'm pondering, iPinky?"
"Wha, I think so iBrain, but - Snort! No, no, it's too stupid."
"We will disguise ourselves as a cow."
"Narf. That was it exactly!"

Whahahaha.
I just realised how much I used to enjoy Pinky and the brain Narf!

McKechnie said that WiMax is an IEEE standard while iBurst, which is not a GSM standard, has only a single supplier, namely Kyocera. WiMax further supplies quality-of-service on the access level, something which iBurst is not capable of offering.

So they admit their technology is crap?

Can't decide what to make of it...

will their iCall service be ithrottled to death?

will iApple isue them?


dammit! I'm getting sick and tired of iThis and iThat...

there's the iPhone, the iPod, the iFsck, the iWhatever...

155mb line...... when they cant supply 100k

Yawn, nothing to do with what their wireless connection can give you.

The WiMax idea sounds interesting, moving everyone over if the connection is better. The rest bleh, leave our backhaul alone, this better not mean a worse network for the rest of us.

iBurst < Telkom?
they both loose...

Do you think IBurst is going to build a new backhaul or leverage their existing one? That said, if they invest heavily in upgrading their backhaul to cater for the new services then current subscribers could benefit. That is the good case scenario I will leave you to run with the bad case scenario...

 

[Pe-Killer]

I could think of nothing worse... the two most incompetent companies going head to head.... why do I get the sinking feeling this may come true...

so true

 

[Ivan...]

I cant hardly wait

You guys are forgetting about the best part of iBurst: its Accounting department!
Can you imagine them billing large corporations with "outstanding amouts" that they've already paid, and their monthly statements that make no accounting sense....

This is actually a good move for iBurst, someone is finally going to sue their @ss!!

10 min delays on calls

Is this an April Fools joke in September? iBurst have nowhere enough coverage to start of with and from the comments from their current subscribers they appear to offer a pathetic service.
