Do we honestly need to ask this question anymore? Government (the ANC) reeks of fail, like a bunch of kids in charge of things out of their depth.

Telkom's troubles are a direct result of former terrorists being put in charge of running a company (& country for that matter).
 
Players like Neotel, Vodacom and MTN need to come up with more affrdable bandwidth pricing so just as they need our support so we need theirs too. It's a two way street. I will venture to say that what is holding South Africa back is not so much the Government and Telkom, but the business sectors (primarily Vodacom, MTN and Cell C, with Neotel not far behind.). A little less greed and placing huige profits into their shareholders pockets and a little more of "Let's build South Africa ICT together will go a far way in getting us to move forward in ICT.

So what you are saying, especially wrt ADSL, is that the public must pay for a replication of Telkom's ADSL network?
 
Well, my pass 3.5 years without Telkom and being a Neotel client has been heaven! And Telkom, you can go to hell
 
I don't think the Government think that IT or ICT or what ever you want to call it, is important enough to bother with.
They makes big scenes of the Spear and all other crap.
Switch off all data lines in South Africa and wee where you end up!
A very dark South Africa with no business similar to Zim!
