Time will tell.
I was also wondering about that too. New CEO doing a bit of damage control, but I don't think so.
Telkom just did not have a case. End of story.
I hope they learn something from this, although in the short term I doubt it.
Trusting Telkom, I am sure they will want to capitalise on this and try and make themselves out to be the good guys and feign that it was the Logos that they were concerned about all along and not the content of Hellkom.
Time will tell.

dumb asses - went out with the usual scare tactics and cannot but have known from the word go that they were thin ice
telkom chose not to proceed vs telkomsucks prolly because not as high profile as hellkom with less manipulation of the logo (precious intellectual property)
not true - telkom sent the same letter to andrew and he had basically an identical one to the hellkom reply sent back to themFranna said:

"Telkom spokesperson Xolisa Vapi told Moneyweb that the decision was taken for “strategic reasons”, but was not able to say more."
What on earth does that mean? Strategic reasons...

Strategic Reasons: Most people don't know/realize that telkom is bad, if this got media attention, people would realize that they were actually bad.
on the subject of grafix
Hey Gregg while you're at it, you know how when you're transferring/ scanning files and that little graphic thingie comes up it has the one PC on the left and the other one on the right and there's that little image of the file as it flies across the screen between the two PC's?
I want to see a spinning globe on the left Telkom in the middle and an SA PC on the right, the little file flies really fast from the spinning globe into Telkom logo and then crawls/limps/drags itself really slowly (like the duck logo in cricket) to the SA PC.
Canyadoit?? puleez
