One thing that bothers me (besides the very obvious no-show) is NeoTel's heavy reliance on ICASA regs. I think by now ICASA has proven that they are Telkom's lapdog, and have proven to be extremely efficient when it comes to no action. SAT3 should have been declared an essential service a long time ago, it should have been opened up to other players by now, but surprisingly Telkom still sits with the monopoly over it. If thats not bad enough, they are allowed to extort money from service providers, who in turn have to get it from the consumer.
If things stay they way they are I hold little hope, and IBIWISI will be an understatement. It is truely sad that our hopes are pinned on one company who change their mind on competition almost daily. First they say they will not take Telkom on in a price war, now they say prices will drop dramatically...IBIWISI
