Suriah blamed the latest delay on Infraco, the new state-owned broadband infrastructure company. “It was a real show-stopper,” she says.

Perhaps it's time to re-name Neotel to NoTel

NoTel=short for NoTelecommunications

I really feel sorry for Neotel. Im sure that had they not had all this government interference and roadblocks they would have been up and running long ago.

They would have been operational if they filled the correct goverment pockets !

No-show-and-tel?

To be honest, I forgot there is a company called Neotel.

Show stopper hey....Me thinks the show has stopped

I've stopped being positive about NeoTel along time ago.

Yes, I've seen them in and around Sandton, digging up roads and pavements to lay cables, but so far they've missed how many launch dates? They are a year behind schedule, and I wouldn't be surprised if end of 2007 quietly moved to middle of 2008.

As it stands, I have more chance of immigrating to the UK sooner than NeoTel has of launching

I love the story . . . including the four Telkom ads, the three Nashua Mobile Ads, and the Vox sponsored search box.

What happened - nothing left in neotels budget for an ad of their own?

No point in spending money on advertising 'nothing'.
Shame, and to think it took them so long to get a license issued to do nothing, rofl.

Well on the up side I guess, I see jobs advertised by them for employment at their CPT offices just about on a daily basis, they are also (slowly but surely) starting to respond to sales enqueries... Things are happening behind the scenes, it's just a matter of time.

 

[Shake@work]

Where are you seeing these job ads savage?

On their site? The paper - just out of interest?

http://neotel.careerjunction.co.za/ Currently 0 jobs listed, but they come and go. A while ago there where 5 posts for Snr Unix engineers...

Yeah. About 8 years ...

“very soon, definitely this year”

So that'll be next year then...

There have been some workers digging trenches outside our offices in Centurion. The interesting part was they asked us to store some huge orange pipes with the words NEOTEL printer on them behind our building.
