"With the promise of an imminent second network operator, an apparent easing of telecommunications regulations,"



Its that word again

Wonder if they actually do anything?

Thanks - I see its geared to the needs of businesses - hardly representative of consumers as a whole. Perhaps they're the only ones able to pay the membership fees.

Thankfully we have MyADSL

I wonder if they actually do much, never heard of them before. Must be bringing in a nice income!

CUASA engages on an ongoing basis with government and operators to ensure that the interests of users are taken into account. CUASA responds on behalf of the user community to calls by the Ministry and ICASA, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa, for input on subjects such as competition and market structure, convergence, Internet, empowerment, human resource development, universal service and access, and new technologies.

Sounds great, how often do CUASA get called on to comment? I imagine though not often and when they do comment, nobody listens if one reads anything into their criticism.

I see they have a golf day on the front page too
