Vodacom, MTN, and other big mobile networks share plans for 2024

South Africa's mobile network operators (MNOs) have new products, 5G expansions, rural rollouts, and enhanced load-shedding mitigation measures on their agendas in 2024.

That is according to feedback provided by the country's five biggest MNOs in December 2023.

Vodacom need to keep R20,000,000,000 on hand just incase

By the time Cell C introduces 5G, 6G will be ubiquitous. They're the only network without 5G. I don't know why I'm still with them. Too much of a hassle to change network providers I guess.

Cell C should not even be allowed to take part in the spectrum auction. They just wasting people's time. Telkom can tsek also with their request for it to be postponed for a year.

I am very interested to see what happens with IMT450! Coverage with it should be amazeballs...but no devices support it as far as I know. Buy spectrum in it now and hope chip makers start supporting it in their modems soon or save the money instead but miss the bus when it does become a commercial asset that is usable?
