Help me now.

Quick as a flash you repond and blame it on the "law".

Then, O'Ho, mabe it is not the "law", we will see what marketing do....

So you agree? It is all a marketing angle.

MTN is going to loose income should customers use VoIP. Now they use all kinds of spinning to tell us that is actually not suchs a good idea. They are going to charge us R25.00 a meg because the outlay cost so much and all the funny stories Telkom use to use.

Have some integrity and tell the customer the full truth.

Never trust a salesman who enquiers about your health.

Good day,

You must remember by law we are obliged to charge Voice as Voice weather it be over an internet protocol or not at the moment users are able to use SKYPE (VOIP) at no extra charge, so we don't have a choice in the matter ICASA classes Voice as voice

Thats all fair i guess, but in the end, VOICE is also data. Music counts as data, so why doesnt voice count as data?

Ooops

Sorry

No problem, reading it again I can see why it seemed like I was.

Guys let's just see what happens

When I speak to people around VOIP the one comment was if it's voice then it will be charged like Voice

Marketing are working on a VOIP product at the moment. Currently MTN do not charge for VOIP in terms of the whole R25 per meg so let's see what happens more than this I can't tell you because I don't know, but will keep you guys posted on any developments

Carry on, you are doing good work.

Sorry for trying to kill the messenger. Nothing personel.

Would love to get the Marketing director over a beer with the press present.

There are probably people who would love to get her over a barrel with the press present.

Well I think Vodacom are in the same place as us at the moment whereby they not charging any different for VOIP but I'm sure they must be working on something

In the end the fact that the consumer will get screwed over will once again boil down to in ineffective regulater and badly written legislation / regulations.

Voice is no longer just voice. Voice is now data and vice versa. Every technological advance that might improve the plight of the consumer will be stifled in the interest of companies that are unable to addapt to the environment they operate in.

Suddenly all the Cell operators want to be ISP's and the will gladly provide you with data services as long as it does not cut into their Voice "Golden Goose".

Let it go ............. voice is dead (or within this decade). Decide to become a data carrier or die as a voice carrier.
