SNO’s launch plan
Releasing a statement in the wake of its Friday afternoon board meeting after receiving its licence that morning, the SNO company promised that it would focus on “customer service and affordability”. It also said customers would “no longer be limited in the bandwidth they can access.” Its services will be rolled out to different customer segments over time as the SNO grows, it said.
The SNO promises its management team will be recruited locally, supplemented with support from Indian shareholder Tata and subsidiary VSNL, as well as that of the other shareholders. “The goal is to recruit the best people in the local market and to establish the appropriate training programs to ensure transfer of knowledge and skills development locally.” The majority of board members would be South Africans, and the chairman would be an independent person chosen from “eminent” South African candidates, the SNO said.
Since signing its shareholders agreement in August, the SNO said it had been “actively engaged” in defining its approach to the South African market, which was encapsulated in its business plan: “The business plan is designed to build a solid foundation for the SNO, which will become one of South Africa’s largest companies.”
The SNO said its network would be a next generation network, built with both convergence and fixed mobile possibilities for the near future.
