Consumer lobbyist Philippa Davis said South African telecommunication costs - which President Thabo Mbeki said in February were unacceptable - were 400 times more expensive than the international average.

400 Times? I know things are bad, but not that bad! Somehow I think that should say 400%... :rolleyes:

It is a problem - it means that we've got a lot of journalists or editors who really aren't that good.

If you can't get simple facts like the difference between 400% and 400x correct, then there's a BIG problem.

We see this far too often in the SA press - really silly mistakes that show that even the minimum amount of research hasn't been done.

This is the kind of thing the Telkom marketing/spin doctors will jump on.

Ha Ha,

I think that the Telkom PR guys are going to have to put in some overtime.

Of course Sizwe will just settle the whole affair with Ivy over lunch? In Paris perhaps?
