After reading the article, is that 2-3 year frame until they launch inline with international launches, i would have thought they would launch by mid-2012 atleast.

I wonder what size the cap will be :/.

 

[Sokum]

Yes, hook us up with trail accounts. Live in Techno Park, Cent. and work in Randburg

MTN, I will gladly trial the product for you with regards to Online FPS gaming
I won't charge you for this service too

Speed and latencies look promising. I wonder what the per MB (or per GB) pricing will be at in 2-3 years time.

Where are all these trails you guys want to go on? I am too a keen hiker.

Sorry, oversight on my part. MTN said that not all the sites are active, but should be by the end of August. This will be mentioned in the next article.
