[dojob]

Hi Guys

I saw this artical on ITWEB: http://www.itweb.co.za/sections/telecoms/2003/0310021124.asp?O=FPT

They say IP Direct is gona launch in Decemeber.

"The company aims to offer reliable, cost-effective broadband connectivity for data, Internet access and voice over IP services that will be suitable for business, government and residential customers in African markets"

What I would like to know is this the same as the Sentech Satellite internet?

"We plan to be operational in 10 countries by 2006, starting in West Africa and <b>later expanding into east and southern Africa</b>," says Tibbs.

Why West Africa and last South Africa if SA is the economic capital of Africa and the rest of Africa can even spell ADSL, oh and lets not forget Telscum.[8]

Fantasy is what people want, reality is what they need.

i guess west africa has no monopoly like telkom.
so they can compete freely there...
