The year that wasn't good for communication

2017 has been yet another disaster for the communications industry.

With the failures in SOE - SAA, Eskom, Sanral, Post Office, etc, it is 100% sure that WOAN will be a failure costing taxpayers billions.

Why should taxpayers fund & build Cellular infrastructure?

Instead of taking our taxpayer money to build cellular network for rich cell companies (MTN, Cell-C, VodaCom, Telkom, etc)
DTPS should auction off the frequency and use the money to bail out #FeesMustFall.

Though I agree, let's not beat around the bush here.
The end goal of zanc is absolutely not the well being of the country or the people.
It's all about how much money they can stuff into their pockets while keeping the population dumbed down to continue doing what they're doing.

100%, and WOAN smells bad.

WOAN is like eTolls, cadre beneficiation scheme at the expense of taxpayers and consumers.
