Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams tasked with cutting mobile data prices in half

I hate to break it to you but performance agreements in government means NOTHING. It's just for show. If you dont reach targets you just provide reasons or make up an excuse and all is forgotten. It is then replaced by new targets that are easier to reach. the cycle continues. That's why the rot has spread so far.
 
Simple task: Offer spectrum in exchange for halving of Price of data. But we know government wants to eat.

Price controls don't work. Just ask ex-Soviet Union citizens who used to queue to buy a loaf of bread what happens when you start telling businesses at what price they can sell things.

That's too easy - Starlink will provide 100% of ZA rural coverage soon.
 
Stella's had a stella(r) history,if anybody can do it she can

Or we end up in the stone ages with no spectrum at all suddenly
 
Actually, pathetic that such agreements must be forced to be signed.
These ANC cadres are completely useless.

... but it was the networks that said they will be able to lower data prices when they receive the much-awaited spectrum.

The Soviet communists also took over control of the means of production. Price controls seem to be fine for America at least where Trump has just announced a plan to force down prescription drug prices. They aren't going to be lining up there anytime soon.
