Article by Lloyd Gedye based on the South Africa Foundation report with some interesting quotes from ICASA's Khulile Boqwana.
1. the Foundation report is spot on and "very much in line with how we see things"
2. "It is vital that competition be introduced. However, history tells us that it takes a while for competition to be effective"
3. Icasa does not regulate the ADSL sector (?). "There is new legislation going to the Minister for promulgation that will recommend that ADSL is regulated"
And some statements to gladden the hearts of presenters at the adsl hearings
"To use ADSL you have to have a voice line, so you are paying rental for the phone and then you have to pay a rental for the ADSL modem as well and this is double-charging"
