Neotel says it has gained access to the SAT-3 landing station, allowing it to bring international services to SA users that are not carried over Telkom's national network, at any point.
"Access to the landing station means that Neotel can now carry traffic from Johannesburg to London on its own network", says Neotel CTO Angus Hay.
ICT stakeholders have previously noted that it costs as much to transport traffic from London to the landing station as it does to transport it from the landing station, in Melkbosstrand, to Johannesburg. In some instances, prices between the landing station and Johannesburg were even higher
