World Cup telecoms infrastructure needs planning - ATIO

Good article and mostly right on the money. I'd only add that the wholesale provision of telecoms services need to corrected and properly in place before 2010 as I seriously doubt that foreign visitors will accept our tariffs (roaming / interconnect / etc.). Not to mention that Telkom's current stranglehold on backbone provision to cellular operators and ISP's need to be of a world-class nature to support the added capacity constraints. The clock is ticking ...
 
it is likely that each of them will have a cellphone, either on roaming or will buy a pay-as-you-go plan when they land

Yeah. but first they will have to register their details (fica?) somewhere.O and they have to get something larger than a 3gig cap too.
