Telkom ‘hindering Neotel progress’

[eltherza]

Prediction:

After the hearings, it will be pushed back another 4 months. After that an appeal will buy telkom another 6 months, then that hearing fore the appeal will be hear and the decision pending for 4 months. Then, after that, Telkom goto the supreme court for to have the decision thrown out, so telkom get away even longer as the supreme court decides this for another 3 months

time till telkom is told to play fair: 17 Months.

Then, there's a "it'll take some time", 3 months delay.Thats IF telkom decides to play to the Laws, it'll be 20 Months from now.

But, telkom prob won't play by the rules much like the free local bandwidth. It's been how long since that law was passed and telkom are STILL not obeying it.

Only way to combat this is competition, but with Government owning most of telkom and neotel, the "ban" on non-african cables (indirectly means that telkom/neotel must own the cables -> government owns the cables) it's going to continuously be an uphill battle.

Burning wood torches and pitchforks? Those 1500's witch hunters knew the way

I'm really upset by this.

I'm feeling that more and more, seriously.

but... "Telkom claims it does not monopolise the market to a degree that would give Icasa the right to intervene"

Hahahahaha, at least it's sadly funny.

I wish I could go to sleep and wake up tomorrow and Telkom was gone!

This is entirely possible, unfortunately you'd have to board an international flight before dozing off.
