...and a further dramatic drop in level of service where Neotel is also your ISP - to help 'justify' the price drop!!
Already Neotel drops your connection whenever they like, do not respond to their own [email protected] and have so few subscribers that their 1000 minutes "on-net" and a bunch of "on-net" SMS's are completely meaningless. So what's the use of Neotel predicting dramatic price drops?

All of the over-excited flaming in response to this article suggests that most people reading it don't understand the context.
Certainly, it's irresponsible for the CEO of a company that's offering retail services to individuals and companies to say something that sounds like: "We're going to slash prices". However, I suggest that people stop assuming that everything revolves around them (yes, yes, the customer is king etc, but nevertheless), and realise that this was probably intended to be a general comment on the per unit price of wholesale international bandwidth into South Africa, which we all know is about to drop dramatically with SEACOM landing, and the effect that the dramatic drops are likely to have on the overall market. Mr Pandey presumably has first hand knowledge on what similar competition did to the Indian market, and how it spurred entirely new industries there (IT, outsourcing). He can be forgiven for simply assuming that the SA market will react similarly.
It's not really about Neotel. There's nothing in this article that suggests that it's about monthly access pricing per se, or even about all retail access pricing generally. The emphasis seems to be on higher bandwidth at the same price (i.e. lower per unit pricing). If anything, the target audience seems more like the VANS/ISP (now I-ECNS) market. I'd be more interested to hear whether they are seeing a similar trend, than in the same old "I want to pay less per month" rant.
