Zuma promises lower telecoms costs

[Nuro]

Let's be 100% honest.

The Government only controls 1 single part of the price = TAX.
The companies involved can charge as much as they like, so in essence ZUMA committed to cutting the TAX part. Nothing more he can do

Can't goverment invoke change through ICASA, like fast-tracking LLU etc?

It's still privately owned companies. If the hand of the judge is to heavy they just leave and reap fruits somewhere else.

Since telecoms in SA is privately owned they can't do shyt They can make sure that customers are not being exploited but that is how far it goes.

Do you think Government will bite the hands that feed them BILLIONS in Tax ?

And by doing that cut off their own cash cow revenues, (private Investment), NO chance of that happening any time soon

 

[Pitbull]

How's that honest?
Government controls tax
Controls regulations through ICASA
Controls capital expenditure through INFRACO, Telkom and others
And then reports ther news the way they choose through the SABC

He still can't do shyt See my post above.

I guess you don't understand the meaning of Honest ?

I'm not saying they will or want to, just that they can if they wanted to

Translation: We rely on radio/TV to relay our propaganda and "nation building" rhetoric, and will invest appropriately to ensure it is not usurped by more objective media amongst our support base.

Previous president said exactly the same thing.

Which previous president

 

[Shred]

[marine1]

And we all know politicians are full of sh !t

 

[Kkkurupt]

Previous president said exactly the same thing.

And now you can see why he was told to step down swiftly.

 

[krycor]

[vodacom3g]

And now you can see why he was told to step down swiftly.

Optimism is a wonderful characteristic and one more of us need!

 

[Wag]

Huh?
Am i dreaming?
Did our president actually say such a lovely thing?

We have heard the talk,now let him do the walk!

That will be the pudding

[ike]

believe it when i see it

 

[snail]

wow...seacom arrives and then he makes this statement...wonder which idiots will believe his crap

 

[<moLe>]

zuma's idea of telecoms involves;a couple zinc plates from a relocated squator camp slapped together to form a satelite dish complete with a showerhead atached to an asagai (will also prove handy when lady justice comes knocking) to be used as the receiver .

 

[2CentsWorth]

ROFL. Thabo Mbeki promised the same thing....
