It's sounding very good to me. Unless Ivy throws another spanner in the works.

Let's just hope it actually happens.

Deputy Director General for ICT Infrastructure Development at the Department of Communications (DoC), Rosey Sekese, said that cables wanting to land in South Africa need to be majority African owned.

But this is just stupid.

The World Bank’s Khalil shared this view, saying that he is perplexed as to why the South African Government would put obstacles in place for cables that want to land in the country, especially if it is funded by private industry players.

Welcome to Africa.

Don't worry, these obstacles are put in place so that international companies can overcome them with bribes here and there.

Without these obstacles how would Ivy fund herself?

This is the african way Beg here, bribe there.

Dear Ivy

Why you are so stupid?

Thanking you for not replying,

Well, clearly there are individuals within government who would like to prevent market entrants from entering to protect their present or planned investments. Any fool could see that allowing as many players as possible into the market will be beneficial to South Africa. The downfall of this government is that it continues to use BEE to justify its bizarre regulations, which ultimately serve to enrich around ten people in the economy.

When the cables are here, connected and the prices drop with uncapped fast internet being offered from everywhere... then i'll believe it. Its all still just talk!.

Why do I have the song, "Ground Control to Major Tom," stuck in my head?
..."we're living in a tin can"....

 

[DblD]

...that SEACOM will be allowed to land in South Africa as it meets all the legal requirements.

What legal requirement is that? The ministry bribe chapter?

Gods truth, those incompetent government apes are forgetting that bad government policy IS DIRECTLY responsible for the information technology stunted growth and its impact on economical growth.

WAKE UP, YOU ARE NOW ADDRESSING THE INTELLIGENT VOTER CONSTITUENCY.
The simplified bull**** used in your general campaign that got you fat positions you are now abusing, does not and will not fly here.
