The revolution sweeping SA telecoms

WHEN!!!!????

So I can get my popcorn and a slush puppy..... and watch this disaster unfold
 
Telkom and its new rival, the Tata Communications-controlled Neotel, as well as Vodacom and MTN, are all laying high-capacity fibre-optic cables in metropolitan areas in expectation of an explosion in demand for broadband.

They must of missed the wailing cries for affordable, unrestricted broadband for more than 5 years now.... i guess that does not could as an explosion...
 
Only words to be said about this peace of bad publication are ....
how much and when......
 
Media sensationalist reporting, and what competition, Neotel will float because the government promised moving it's data support network from Telkom, which is a large percentage. All the major role players brag about their business moves and how they take business from Telkom, they do not have b...s to challenge Telkom in it's diverse network coverage, they only provide in high density concentrated business or population areas, let see you suckers cover rural network development and deployment on same scale as Telkom and survive. So much for social responsibilty and lower prices, or shareholder returns, who is calling BLUFF.

Telkom has had many many years to create its "diverse network coverage". Give Neotel enough time to lay the fibre and it will get there. Unfortunately, it is something we're going to have to be patient for.

Regarding their social responsibilities, as far as I'm aware, Neotel have supplied ICASA with a plan for which they're awaiting approval.
