they say its not necassary. then the the **** hits the fan and they cant handle the load people will say "why didnt they plan ahead for this" like they did with Eskom. i'm sorry but i'm on Telkom's side with this, nothing they do is ever good enough, stop expecting the impossible!!

I love it when corporations contradict themselves and expose their PR departments as little more than paid liars.

To do this, it will reduce prices to make broadband more affordable. "Pricing on broadband is quite high," Molotsane admits.

But, but, Lulu in PR says Telkom pricing is competitve?!?!

They should have done this years ago, when they went with the wrong technology. I would love to meet the person that thought that ATM would beat IP... thats a special kinda of stupid.

Telkom dont stop lying, its in their nature. Looks like government is investing a lot of money into corps that the big five have interests in.... thats our money for _their_ companies.

Telkom hopes it will lose no more than 15% market share to SNO Telecom over the next five years.

And I hope that people will always remember Telkom for what they have done to South Africa no matter what.

The best yet is:

SNO Telecom has the advantage that it will be building a new network. Unlike Telkom, it will have no legacy infrastructure to contend with.

Boohoo, now our network the sa consumer paid for is a disadvantage. How sick is this company? Beyond redemption.

we are not a utility

Utility:

a facility composed of one or more pieces of equipment connected to or part of a structure and designed to provide a service such as heat or electricity or water or sewage disposal;

huh?then what are you if not a utility?

OR maybe they meant this definition

the quality of being of practical use

in which case, most of us here would agree...

I predict that in the not so distant future somebody's head is going to roll for bad PR.

I have to agree with Telkom.... they are not a utility. a utility does something usefull... I rate telkom as a Trojan... a wolf in sheeps clothing.

We are not a utility," says Molotsane. "We are a leading ICT solutions provider."

<sarcasm on> Fine, then open up the market for real utility companies...

<sarcasm off>
