Telkom a world player - Reality update

[microfast]

It's old news that it's telkom's vision to be a "world player",
but how are they performing ? time for a reality check.

Africa and middle east make up 1%, my guess is that Middle east makes up about 80% of this and the other african countries make up about 16.6% -

this leaves our "world player" with about 0.034%.

This is not funny.

The last graph of countries showing the most growth is interesting - seem to be mostly developing nations like brazil and argentina

Telkom likes to compare itself with developing countries. What is the 1st world/3rd world classification of Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Poland, Peru and Malaysia who are listed?
