National Infrastructure Plan 2050 tables 1Gbps broadband for all households by 2026

[Jan]

Affordable 1Gbps broadband for every household in South Africa

An ambitious government infrastructure plan aims for every household to have access to affordable 1Gbps broadband Internet by the 2025/2026 fiscal year.

The strategic objective is part of Phase 2 of the Department of Public Works National Infrastructure Plan (NIP) 2050, which was recently published for public comment.

Can we first get all households some form of internet connectivity before trying to get everyone 1Gbps?

Where is this? In the smart cities that will also be built?

 

[quovadis]

Ambitious and nuts. Focus on Water, Electricity and basic services and then afterwards aspirations like fibre.

Can we at least try to keep the lights on for one whole year...

Of course, you will also soon be able to catch the high speed rail link to the cities...
You will know when you are near your destination as the 100m unity flags come into view...

The average person in South Africa is not tech savvy enough.

Solve basic issues like working electricity, water, sanitation, public transport, etc and see how people will thrive.

[Fuzzbox]

Whos going to pay for this?

 

[Raphael123]

You lost me at government.

 

[Harmonic]

I swear the ministers in government must regularly go for cocoa cleansing ceremonies/Ayahuasca trips/tiben sound bowl experiences/etc with all the pie in the sky ideas and timelines they come up with

 

[Zurg]

Is this a South African thing or an ANC/Government thing? Shiny new empty promises without fulfilling the previous promise.

Make it 2027.

It must be what the voters want to hear?
