This is NOT an offer from a company. It is the aim of the technology to enable companies to offer services at R200.

But then again... ADSL is what price in a competitive market?

 

[Syndyre]

In countries like South Africa – where there are high national and international bandwidth fees – an uncapped service providing speeds of 1 Mbps or more is unlikely to cost below R 200 per month, but enforcing a monthly usage limit should drive down costs.

So this means nothing really, you can already get 3G/HSDPA for under R200 a month with a 500MB limit.

So what should we expect from Telkom... how many companies are able to offer Wimax? What percentage of the average ADSL price does Telkom charge us?
So Wimax should cost closer to a grand a month here?

Pfffft... ibiwisi

WiMax costs around the same as 512kb ADSL here (>R200), without any bandwidth. So at least we know Telkom are overcharging.

I always knew it...

Article is misleading. I can post an article labeled: "ISP offers broadband for R200 all inc."

You just won't find it in South Africa. Convert to pounds or dollars and emigrate. Then make use of the offer.

"WiMax pricing goal" makes it clear that no company is offering this atm. Once you read the article it's pretty obvious anyway.
