<Q>Thami played a major role in Telkom's network roll-out in pursuit of its licence targets, and has also worked in SBC's major account centre in Dallas, Texas.</Q>
Well - seeing as the licence targets were not met, methinks that is not really a good claim to fame, unless it's the usual bragging about non-compliance that seems to go on in that company.

On the other hand, WiMAX supporters praised the technology. In South Africa, for example, Thami Msimango oversees a culture split between what he calls a "First World" society of cable, DSL, and relative prosperity and a rural "Third World" of farms and rural areas. Msimango, managing director of network infrastructure provisioning for Telkom SA Ltd., the country's largest carrier, said that he has deployed five base stations in a two-phase deployment through October and November, using equipment provided by Alvarion, a key partner of Intel. Msimango said he's also examining competing chips from Fujitsu and others.
