Sentech-Telkom Co-petition?

[tomjones]

I've heard that Sentech head Marcel Raath, and Telkom DSL mogul White are hunting buddies, and that this whole DSL-MyWireless thing is co-petition. Comments?

It wouldn't surprise me at all. We always thought their was some conspiracy going on between Telkom and Sentech.
Fact 1: State owns 39.3% of Telkom
Fact 2: State own Sentech. At least this is what I think. Perhaps Ex Telkom people.

Their pricing suggests that there is definately some sort of co-op between them. One would think that if Sentech was serious about business competition, it would make their 512 wireless option slightly cheaper and better serviced than Telkom's DSL offering. Again the South African consumer is forced to bend over and take it purely because our government cannot encourage competition.
