So, 3 players:
- MTN, Voda, VANS, Naspers
- SA Consumer
- Mbeki/Manual/Erwin
All indications are then that we should side with Mbeki/Manual/Erwin then, but ... why does that "side" not side with us?
Erwin can't openly state that he has told councils all over South-Africa to "unofficially" allow people to cut roads and build their own telephone exchanges as was discussed in the other thread at length. SA has two ways things are done "officially" and "unofficially". Wimax is the killer app and what we need to do is test the patience of the NPA by for example building a demo DSLAM exchange linking 80 houses in Soweto and link these houses on the illegal 2.0ghz Wimax frequence. Its just a matter of changeing the crystal in the

Then we make a video of it and mock Icasa on this forum and see what happens. I just don't personally have the money for this or I would do this tomorrow. The only thing from preventing me from uploading road cutting expeditions to Youtube and posting it here is:
money - I don't have any. It all has to do with your risk/reward ratio in deploying illegal Wimax. There are test cases of criminal convictions of people broadcasting on SABC channels where they received a 5year suspended sentence. Your chances of going to jail if you plea-bargain with John Welch is about zero
I think, especially if we have his sympathy. Which means that we just find somebody we can pay R8000/month to take the rap for the illegal Wimax transmitter which he will physically protect 24hours a day. So lets say Icasa arrives with their court order, he just destroys the device: No device, no evidence.
All Icasa would have is a datastream on 2.0ghz which the tokeloshi that escpaped of the pages of The Soweton could have transmitted. What won't work is for every house to have an illegal 2.0ghz Wimax transmitter
because then Icasa would easily be able to get the evidence and prosecute.
This is why DSLAMs are so dangerous to Telkom/Vans/Naspers/MTN/Vodacom because it will specifically allow us to link these blocks of DSLAMd houses via a single easily destroyed Wimax transmitter and make it impossible for Icasa to prove that a specific house transmitted on 2.0ghz. John Welch must have the physical device to prosecute in the same manner that they must have the gun that shot the bullet.
My agenda with DSLAMs is not just road cutting adventures - no it is to unleash the power of
http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/WiMax
It is unbelievable that this forum is so opposed to my ideas. DSLAMs combined with illegal WIMAX is the golden technology that we have all been waiting that could transform this countries broadband landscape.
There seems to be some sort self-flaggelation going on here where people actually enjoy paying a R1000/month for bandwidth just so that they can come and complain here, instead of solving the problem.
It can be compared to a stupid farmer complaining about haveing to plow the lands by oxen but refusing to use the tractor standing besides him.
We would laugh at such a farmer and he would obviously be mentally ill.
Forget about the laws and the mindcontrol from Naspers and focus on the technology of Wixam and DSLAM and how they compliment one another and allow us to make asses out of the Icasa/Naspers/Telkom/MTN alliance - the evil beasts who are directly responsable for there being no video cameras catching criminals because then people will use the exact same bandwidth to become their very own broadcasting television network.
Lets take another look at
http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/UnmannedAerialVehicles. Why won't the great defender of Afrikaner belange from the "evil ANC" never ever mention the obvious solution that UAVs - a couple of thousand of them will stop the crime? Because once you start broadcasting realtime footage of a UAV tracking a COIN van carrying R10million then how do you prevent somebody from starting their own television service using UAVs as an aerial relay platform? Naspers cares only about Naspers - not Afrikaners. Part of their PR exercise is creating the illusion that they care about people shot dead in their driveways, but they will never dare mention how Wimax on 2.2, 2.3, UAVs, and DSLAMs will create the bandwidth that will enable us to stop the crime within a few months. Yes, South Africa has a crime problem so we are told over and over with mind numbing repetition - but we are never told about the solution, because the solution will eliminate Naspers/MTN/Vodacom grip over the minds of South-Africans who are to stupid to understand that they are directly responsible that 2.2ghz for example will never be licensed for mobile Wimax video surveilance on a UAV.
