Broadcasting signal distributor Sentech saved itself from embarrassment by pulling out of the pay television licence race at the eleventh hour, as it did not have a clear strategy on how it would source the funds needed to run the service, an official from the Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa) said on Friday.

...

Sentech is a state-owned entity that is funded by the government.

Ahuh. Yeah.

So is this what we can expect from InfraCo then? Awesome.

Really, really awesome.

And the "millions of millions" of cables...yeah. Ahuh. More awesomeness there.

And the up and coming market consolidation of Telkom, MTN and Vodacom - oh my God! My brain is on fire! teh pure awesomeness of it all! *runs in circles being in pure farking ecstasy*
