South Africa promises 10GB free data to every household

[Jan]

10GB free data for every South African household

Government will provide 10GB of free data to every South African household, similar to the allocation of basic municipal water and electricity services, communications minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has promised.

Indigent households qualify for 6,000 litres of water, 50kWh of electricity, and free sewerage and sanitation.

Ok and how many loaves of free bread and litres of free milk? And a free car?

 

[Dan C]

Done

I support this. It's 2022, people need to fap to video, not pictures.

 

[Lupus]

How is this magic going to materialise?

1/2 a days data , that isn't too shabby

Another bollocks promise that will never see the light of day.

I support the idea in principle, but I just never see it being implemented.

We've been having it with Afrihost Air Mobile. I get 4gb for free every month.

If they get Rain, then it's at least 2 months of data.

Government tender coming up -> feeding frenzy and no delivery

"She did not provide timelines for the rollout of this basic data service."

So if you are on uncapped, can you resell your 10GB?

Thanks for the laugh Jan. Needed it this morning.

Excellent. I can't wait for mine.

 

[heartbroken]

Gearing up for an election I see. When is the next one? I mean with free electricity, water, R350 grant and 10Gb data, who would not vote ANC.

 

[deweyzeph]

How about we start with the basics first like water and electricity, then we can work our way up to data.

 

[Syphonx]

They could add it as a requirement for spectrum allocation, but how do you determine a household?

You live in a shack and utilise 10GB's data running 4k Netflix? If you can afford to stream in 4k, this isn't really targeted at you.

Do you also use 3kl of water by 12pm?

I'm not sure about you, but 10GB's data for a kid in a shack is more than sufficient for research for a month. MTN already zero rate-sites like Wikipedia through their IPC. If only the other networks could do the same. All educational and news sites would be an awesome start.

Just block anything with the word EFF or Cosatu in it.
