Vodacom must give you Wi-Fi with 3G data, says WirelessG

Vodacom must give you Wi-Fi with 3G: WirelessG

WirelessG said that Vodacom is not bundling Wi-Fi with its data products as agreed, which is costing the company millions

This isn't the first time VC's underhand dealings came to light, and you can bet it won't be the last either. No wonder VC is a big sponsor of cANCer - birds of a feather...

Then some wonder why we oft times refer to them as Vodascum ....

Business as usual with Vodascum

At this moment we estimate our damages at about R7 million per month

Seriously?

Why was this only taken to court now, when Vodacom should've started to bundle it back in 2007!?

It just sounds to me like an ugly and easy way to gain money!

that is what you get with dealing with the devil.

“Vodacom will bundle WirelessG Wi-Fi services with Vodacom data products. WirelessG will have the right to co-brand in such offerings.”

I'm no lawyer, but that doesn't say it'll bundle WirelessG Wi-Fi with all Vodacom data products. So VC could bundle it with some data products, and not others.

Or am I misunderstanding this?

Does ....will have the right to co-brand... not entitle WirelessG to have to option to include their product with any 3g data product offered by VC ?

Theoretically, bundled offerings should be cheaper: offloading to wifi will reduce load on 3G network (if offloaded to ADSL or similar)

They'll be more likely to try to sell this as a premium product at inflated cost though...

Scumbags.

Wireless G is running at a loss and only survives because Vodacom pays them R300 000 per month for the last 5 years. Now that this payment is coming to an end in February, they are trying every trick to extort more money or a new revenue guarantee from Vodacom.
