I was just wondering what peoples thoughts were on this? I know the Tshwane municipality is using this technology, do you think this is the answer to feeding our braodband starved nation?

I suppose the first thing that would need to happen would be for Eskum to sort out their power shortage issues

yeah, they are having a hard enough time getting electricity across those lines. Let's not overburden them with getting data accross them as well !

IMO it'll work. But then again if they buy Bandwidth from telkom then it doesn't really help. It's proven to work prob a good alternative. But end of the day will they be competitive or will they just be a broadband version of 'Cellc' where prices have not come down since they started.
