<Q>I’m not sure what the process would be, but I’m sure it will be a lengthy process.</Q>
Look at Teklom's approach to good corporate governance and look at how their "Proudly South African" attitude is shown off. Freaking BASTARDS.

<Q>Telkom has invested close to a R1billion in capital in this ADSL network and we have almost 100,000 customers</Q> 1 000 000 000 / 100 000 = 10 000. So - If I pay teklom my R 10 000 installation fee, can I be rent free then ? Hu ? What do you mean no ? What do you mean i've already paid 17 000 to teklom for "line rental" ? WTF is this ripoff crap ?

<Q>And I’m happy to say today we have by far the most significant market share because we provide the best service at the best possible price. There are five service providers to choose from today, which we’re just one of.</Q>
Stevie baybee is talking about the ADSL ISP service. Now - Stevie is claiming that 3GB is better than 30GB. Is this man off his rocker ? Duh - Yup.

I'm feeling sick again. Somebody introduce stevie baybee to mugabe. Methinks they'll get on like a house on fire.

I wonder if his tune will change once he doesnt work for Telkom anymore. Most likely.

Oh absolutely. When he starts having to pay for his own Telkom bill he'll finally see the light.

Steve White sounds to me like a child who has been taken away his little toy. Baehhhhhhhhhh, I want my toy back, if you don't give it back I will not talk to you anymore and I will tell it Mum.

How in the world this man is allowed to threat a whole nation. His statement is really lowest level!!! He must have won his degrees in National Lotto or ordered it from Pick'n Pay.

Am I the only one who gets this mental image of Gollum clutching his ADSL network and going "It'sss ourrssss our preeeeeecioooouuussssssss"

The basic fact is that as a monopoly they have the responsibility to this country to ensure affordable Telecoms, and they have abused this over and over again...

There are five service providers to choose from today, which we’re just one of.

Where does he get this utter bull**** from ?

And you know, we’ve seen everywhere in the world where you have an effective broad band network, you have higher GDP, you have a great economy, everything goes well. And this has been particularly so in the Asian market.

So how about making it the same in SA WIthout the 20 years of milking us first ?????

But we’re not in Asia, unfortunately, where it’s a broad band marketer’s dream to live in Asia where they have bad weather, where they all live indoors and they live in high rise buildings, which make it extremely cost effective to deliver a broad band service.

No **** Sherlock , we stay in africa home of unemployment , and how eaxtly are telkom helping africa besides adding to the growing numbers of unemployed ? With our crime rate we are no better off that asia we too live indoors but ours is for safety reasons , we spend hours in front of pc cos it is how we earn our keep , or do only people in asia work in the IT industry ? Maybe he should move to asia and see how well things work when there is a free market , NOT a monolopy !

STEVEN WHITE: Well, yes, we are blessed, aren’t we? But I think we have challenges here to bring the broad band service as close as possible to the customer. We live in lovely suburbs, in large homes, which means that we have long large copper lengths between our customer and our exchanges. And that’s not broad band friendly. Broad band doesn’t work well over long distances, we have to get close to the customer. This costs a lot of money. Hence, you know, we have higher costs in delivering the service and doing the network architecture and so forth.

I would HATE to point this out to you Steve BUT as said in afrikaans "Dit eet nie grass nie " Once installed the copper does not have to be laid each and every month !! Just Once ! Can you understand that ? Just Once !!

because speed entails cost and do we want to pass that cost onto the customer, or are they happy to get by with what they have?

Do we have a choice ? No "Suck it down" should be the telom slogan rather !
How does this "person" sleep at night ? He must be payed very well by telkom to come up with heaps like this .
