Minister explains telecoms appeal

Interesting how "She was appealing to protect SA’s policy of “managed liberalisation”".


.... did sa tell her to do this? I mean really if the whole bloody country is in favour of something.... then democratically we must be able to allowed to do it.

Cornerstone of democracy....
 
This woman lost all her marbles long ago.. She should be locked up in a room somewhere with padded walls, in a lovely little white jacket.
 
I'm wondering what is going to happen with the issuing of licenses while the appeal is going on. As Craig Venter said they must issue the new licenses or they are in contempt of court.
 
The minister should say:

I'm appealing because I'm corrupt, and am being paid a fortune by Telkom and other incumbents (but mainly Telkom) for protecting them against competition.

I don't really care about the mandate of my job. All I really care about is how to get rich quickly.

Oh, and those of you who don't agree should leave the country.
 
Ivy is just the figurehead, this is ANC policy.

Getting rid of her wont make the slightest difference.

yep

Policies are made by someone above her, and if she's getting rich, then her boss must be getting rich too.

And on another topic I'm not too sure what Manto's replacement thinks she'll get right either...
 
Its not the ANC's policy, its the governments policy. I'm sure the DA would be doing shady things if they were incharge as well to protect their income. Governments today operate like businesses and their customers are the citizens of the country....

The ANC = the government.

The rest is idle, pointless supposition. There is no chance of anyone but the ANC being elected in the foreseeable future.

The licensing is suspended until 2009 at least.

I'm with you on this one.We had things happening when the NP were in power that were just as shady, and in most cases worse. This does not make it right, of course, but it just grates me when the insinuations are that it is only because it is the ANC - and I will publicly state that I am not an ANC voter before those usual accusations get thrown at me.

The cornerstone of democracy is the ability to vote people into power. South Africa did this. The ANC are in power. So to answer your question, yes SA did tell her to do this! If you are unhappy with a party's policies you vote for one that pleases you. That is a democracy! And a lesson... it does not need the "whole bloody country" to be in favour but only the majority.

Unfortunately, the majority are the uneducated masses and are more concerned with getting basic services like running water and electricity, than the speed/cost of telecommunications and broadband.

Um we live in a country where the uneducated masses rely on costly cell phone technology for communication because Ivy and the state prop up a monopoly (Telscum) that are unable to provide this basic service.
 
HTML: 
But the introduction of new operators must be clearly regulated to ensure stability and growth for the sector and to protect the public interest.

Please tell me how the hell killing the competition is going to enable growth?

Dear Ivy

Please F Off and Die
