Neotel on track with roll-out

[Sneeky]

Neotel is on schedule to offer international and national private leased circuits (leased lines) to large enterprises from February, providing alternative routing for existing services in SA for the first time, it says.

“We do need lower-priced bandwidth though, so I'd hope their business model is aimed at selling on price to some degree,” he adds.

Gale is, however, sceptical as to how far Neotel would be willing to lower price to compete with Telkom.

“The pricing of the products they have offered us so far does not give me confidence [that they would dramatically reduce price].”

oh dear

Neotel is a step in the right direction but don't expect miracles.

Only this will work:
1. Cheap international bandwidth.
2. LLU (local loop unbundling) OR new tech that will bypass it.
3. Lots of competition.
4. Lots of demand.

Can you post the source of the quotes?

does Neotel now have access to the spectrum they need for their CDMA/EVDO rollout for consumer services?
