Well I think they will yes, because they've already adopted the fong kong art of Chinese maths.

 

[bekdik]

I do believe that they have mastered the maths portion. And from their latest arguments wrt cap, the logics portion.

Telkom's service and productivity might then improve exponentially if the current former political prisoners running Telkom are exchanged for Chinese political prisoners

this wouldn't be bad at all.....but thats probably because im asian

Telkom sure as hell can't get any worse, so the Chinese can have the bloody thing. Maybe they will ban dial-up and install 10mbps lines.

This might just be an attempt to prop up the share price though.

yeah, seeing as 100mbps is the average speed in China, and they actually care bout their customers...Well, possibly not as bad as here

I honestly think that a Chinese company might be just what we need.

 

[lordrage]

BWAHAHAHAHA, China getting revenge for the Chinese maths fiasco....

 

[Wisemansa]

hopefully if telkom 'becomes chinese' the chinese will compare our crap broadband speeds to theirs, feel sorry for us and give us 100mb lines in no time

Personally I don't. Have a look at China's internet policy.

While some might say that their censorship policies are based on their law, take a look at what's been happening in SA's political front lately - Manto, Selebi, Vusi? And now with China's sudden interest in SA (first Standard Bank, now this) - all a bit too coincidental for me. Let's hope I'm wrong though.

they cant block youtube like they do there, its not their country, just owns the company

 

[Highflyer_GP]

Rest of the post explains that. Who's to say that we aren't headed the direction of China?

Hmmm we already have the Dementia of Communistications ruled by Stalin-Mafole & Poison Ivy...so Telkodemonopolies could DodoBroadband down from 1GB to 512MB to increase its current level of active censorship of South Afrian citizens attempting to use the internet...

Yet another reason why we need many more competitors than the single NeeTel vapourware company to provide uncensorsed internet access.

Imperialsm II

Exchanging European Imperialsm for Chinese.

Standard Bank
MTN
Telkom
...
what's next???

As for banning dial up --- I seriously DOUBT it.

 

[Inertia]

This sounds velly good.

 

[mancombseepgood]

Someone beg the Chinese to take Telkom and MTN home to China when they do the sale.
Have a rice day.

Or they might just see SA and Africa as the place to dump their old equipment.

 

[w1z4rd]

China abuses human rights and exploits its people... it would fit perfectly into the Telkom mentality.
