One thing I have come to realise from SAfrican service & product providers (Telecoms, Banks, Car Firms, Verimark etc.) - If it sounds to good to be true, is usually is. There is always some type of illegible fine print that mulls the whole offer somewhere on the page.

Let's wait and see before becoming too excited!
 
Really?

“There have been complaints about international bandwidth prices for a long time, and this competition may just trigger a price war between Telkom and the SNO that will make it possible to provide cheaper services, should it be voice, ADSL or other internet services to end consumers.”

I would love to know how this is going to happen when SNO-T already gave public statements that they do not plan to compete with Telkom in a price-war. That being the case, it's more likely, they'll match current Telkom pricing and the end-user will be no better off.

I sincerely hope this is no longer the case and in fact, some indication of proper competition comes to light.

Forget about end-user friendly competetion initially.

At first many corporates will go with SNOt to spread the risk of an essentail service over two players. The idea being that should Telkom go down, they will have be able to business via the SNOt network - tho slower.

To obtain this reduction in risk, the big guys might even be prepared to pay a premium over Telkom.
