South Africa getting state digital infrastructure company — with a new spectrum policy

Communications minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has announced that the South African government plans to give radio frequency spectrum to a state digital infrastructure company.

Ntshavheni’s announcement adds a different perspective to a cabinet statement from March 2022.

I wonder if Khumbudzo is looking for some mattress money

 

[Agent_Smith]

But...but... Isn't every company (NPO's aside) profit driven??

 

[HumanShield]

We accept the responsibility that we cannot leave our fate and the fate of the country in the hands of the telecommunications operators that are commercially driven

Seems like people are in business for all the wrong reasons. Damn you capitalist pigs who just want money!

Launch of Another State Owned Failure in 3...2...1...

More tax money down the drain.

 

[OhYeah84]

Don't they have SITA already?

 

[juanthyme]

100%
third verse same as the first.....

ANC thinks that even though they can't get existing government services working that they will be able to run new ones...

 

[Petec]

Oh well, SA will just fall another decade behind the rest of the world because this gravy train is gonna get looted worse than Eksdom.

 

[borro]

Nom nom times

"We can't leave South Africa's fate in the hands of profit-driven network operators...we're going to insource this (lol...ANC jokes you might not get) and fast-track South Africa's fate"...​

The former SAA or SABC people should run it then.
Hlaudi and Dudu are both available.

If you want zero profits and mega losses, then these are your go to people.

It's thinking like this that's the cause of all our problems in the SOE:

“We accept the responsibility that we cannot leave our fate and the fate of the country in the hands of the telecommunications operators that are commercially driven,” Ntshavheni stated.

 

[RonSwanson]

We hold as a department and government a State Digital Infrastructure Company that has a responsibility to make sure that all South Africans have access to technology.

So tell us, how is that failed digital migration project (which was due 15 years ago) going? You nincompoop.

"We can't leave South Africa's fate in the hands of profit-driven electricity suppliers"​

And communists wonder why some people want to give them free helicopter rides.

 

[BBSA]

So we should leave it in the hands of the corrupt-driven comrades?

How did that work out for Eskom, SAA and our national broadcaster?

WOAN = Slush-Fund

You got to give it to them, the ingenuity in coming up with new ways to steal is commendable..

God no!
