Time to get moving

Knott-Craig says no partners have been identified, though there’s speculation that Didata SA chairman Andile Ngcaba and former Telkom chairman Nomazizi Mtshotshisa are interested.

One company that looks likely to bid for the stake is Mowana Investments, whose principals include former parliamentarian Nkenke Kekana and Business Connexion executives Bridgman Sithole and brothers Benjamin and Isaac Mophatlane

I haven't read about or seen a TRUE empowerment deal in yonks, ever...?

So lets get this right, Vodacom is DENIED a WiMax license, so they just gonna muscle their way into one of the existing companies that DO have a WiMax license?

Who best to target? iBurst!
And once acquired, what happens next? Service goes to the dogs again?

"pathetic" doesn't begin to describe.... :mad:

Gotta love that quote. Makes u think hey? Where did all that "spare cash" come from? Maybe all those "free minutes" that expire each month, or the lock in contacts, or...

Well, I have to say something that nobody else has had the balls to say (that I have read at least):

Kudos to Vodacom & Telkom for misleading millions of people AND making millions ($$$) in the process. You may be idiots in our eyes, but you're darn cleaver, very rich idiots! :rolleyes:
 
Telkom’s Molotsane insists, however, that the two companies will work more closely to exploit synergies. “Frankly, I don’t give a damn what happened in the past,” he says ...

Makes me wonder how often Papi has said the very same thing about fixed-line penetration, exorbitive pricing, poor customer service levels and backward-thinking strategies (ie. insistance on using ADSL 1.0 instead of leap-frogging to ADSL 2/2+ or even direct FTTH at competitive overseas prices to really push penetration levels through the roof in the next year instead of next 5 years!)

It is imperative to keep past mistakes clearly in mind when directing policy and making changes to hopefully improve telecoms and pricing for the consumers that provide your revenue. Otherwise it's clearly a tyrannical "Do it my way!" mentality that's doomed to repeat the failings of the past and further alienate Telkom from consumers' hearts.

Fore-warned is fore-armed but your eyes have to be open to see what's coming Papi :rolleyes:
