Probably getting things into place for their Virgin deal...

T-Mobile USA has many similarities with Cell C. It is the smallest national operator in the US and, like Cell C, it competes on price and focuses on the youth market.

Bwana does a double-take - Cell C is competing on prices?

The big picture

I think something that is conveniently overlooked (by the big guys) is how the beneficiary chain is connected here:

Government has HUGE stakes in Telkom and Telkom has HUGE stakes in VODACOM and SENTECH. Also CellC uses Telkoms infrastructure

Get my drift … why give up something that runs the country?

Dont forget - government also has a 5% stake in MTN and 30% in the SNO - in case of tsunami you understand
