things would change so quick.......Or even the head of tswane municipality, i mean even they are so forward thinking.. Any1 but paris or ivyhehe yeah we have a mountain, wait let me check....yup it's still there. Maybe I should speak to the mountain to get me some decent braodband, I think I will get better results
It's just amazing what that mountain can do, if you ask nicely ...
The municipalities may be the ones in the end that whip ICASA and Ivy into line.
They're in the ideal position to do so since they're part of the government and have a lot of say.
They are being faced with these new technologies that will
1. Save them money
2. Provide them with another source of revenue through resellers.
3. Make them look good by providing cheap data access and telecoms infrastructure to everyone
So for them it's a win, win, win situation and in their best interests to give ICASA and Ivy the middle finger and go ahead with their plans.

A lot has been written in the past about the rollout of broadband in Tshwane
But are there any Citizens who are using it ? I've seen not anyone who really
gave a comment about the service, speed , connection, equipment needed etc.
So is it all future talk or is it happening?

You may find that the people who are trialing stuff like BPL have to sign NDAs.
It's the sort of info a company may not want competitors to know until they launch or they may not want to commit to certain speeds and prices until they have seen how well it works in practice.
Maybe some of these users can tell us if they had to sign an NDA - I doubt it's against the NDA to acknowledge that fact.

Maybe it's a case of:
1) Participation in the Trial
2) No Cost of the Service
3) Quality of the Service
4) etc.
Is dependant on full non-disclosure of the Trial to anyone but the Company conducting the Trial. So even if someone is extremely tempted to boast about the high-speed, easy access he/she is experiencing in the trial, they're too scared to say ANYTHING for fear of not getting it anymore LOL
Agree, think municipalities could represent a big threat but for me the big problem is that they are still govt. Means they are slow. We need to get more providers into telecoms who are quick and competitive.
