I noticed the same problem. On Telkom Mobile the website is unavailable. It appears if Telkom has blocked the Sanral website IP.

On Vodacom, MTN and CellC I am able to access the site.

Wonder why Telkom would block Sanral on Telkom Mobile....

Spam. Report it to your employer.

Good idea, thanks Biometrics.

Just reported it to the CEO in fact... :)

They need to get it fixed, invoices are being sent in a couple of days so they need to have it fixed before the masses starts flocking to the website to register, pay accounts and get e-Tags.

Thank you very much!

Best Regards!

The Sanral Team.

Any legality issues if every service provider poisoned SANRAL's DNS effectively making them disappear from the internet?

Probably yes.

They will be sued and government will effectively revoke all their licenses in terms of broadcasting, Internet access services, etc.

Just remember to mark their mail as spam. The internet will do the rest ...

Assume so. Would be interesting tho if such a thing happened in a civil disobedience where all the major companies did that. They could revoke licenses but their infrastructure would fall apart (Neotel radio links etc)

I look forward to hearing that news if ever such a minuscule chance

I totally agree, but you will always get that one company who thinks they will now get all the business and money and not doing this.... The question is, which one will it be, VC, MTN or Cell?

actually as always the trusty moron has the stick backwards. Lets assume that an iEC(N)S licence holder poisoned SANRALs DNS, SANRAL (not "the government") would have recourse by complaining to ICASA or approaching the High Court. For many many reasons a High Court interdict approach would be best route for SANRAL BUT either way the iEC(N)S licence holder has an opportunity to be heard. If as is very strongly the case right now SANRAL gets itself locked out of Internet service provisioning by sending out spam or soliciting DDOS attacks and so on an ISP (generic term) would be in their full right to take necessary steps. Going the ICASA route could see a fine or what not but to revoke a license would require recalcitrance and a repeat offender position.

If the spam reports come and ISPA is held to task - and SANRAL gets their name of the spammer shame announcements it will be a natural consequence of their own ****ed-up-ness and they wont find any sympathy in the courts.

Is this guy actually from Sanral? Can't we make this thread public LOL I cannot believe someone from an institution trying to seem credible can stoop this low on a forum where they seem to want to represent. I have never seen a company rep act a fool like this.
