'Take on' Telkom

Get it right man!

The press really need to get things right, im noticing a lot of misinformation in articles...

This one says double charging is charging for the voice line and the modem rental, but its actually charging for the voice line and the adsl line, which is actually a single line afaik.
 
"A new study commissioned by the South Africa Foundation into the cost of telecommunications in South Africa has highlighted the “excessive” pricing structures of Telkom and has recommended an increase in competition and regulation in order to bring South Africa in line with international best practice, promote economic growth and create jobs."

Aaaah - Me reverses my previous apology to the South Africa Foundation.
INCREASE REGULATION.
So that's why they published the findings.
And now ICASA is agreeing happily with them and asking governmint to INCREASE REGULATION, without realising why they're asking for that.
NO NO NO - Decrease regulation you dumb twats, free the network you're chaining up.
IMBECILES !
Buggers. Sneaky underhanded shmucks. (South Africa Foundation)
The findings suit them to a tee and make them look good, stating exactlee what they wanted us to hear, except for the sneaky little INCREASE REGULATION thrown in.

Says Boqwana (ICASA) - "It is vital that competition be introduced. However, history tells us that it takes a while for competition to be effective,". DUH - you can introduce competition right now - allow self peering - then allow a bit more, then a bit more ... - WAKE UP DAMNIT.

Blinded by the dark. Sigh.
 
Sigh they still don't quite get it do they... It's not that competition takes time to be effective, what take time is for them to understand the problem and to understand the solutions... Ad nauseam "Maybe the GOV/ICASA/DOC should consult a few countries who recently gone through this!" :mad:
