Telkom and Dotco Settle 30G ADSL issue
Dotco also recently announced that May will be the last month in which users will be able to purchase these accounts as their agreement with Telkom terminates at the end of May.
“Dotco is pleased to announce that the litigation between itself and Telkom has been settled out of Court this morning. On 28 April we advised our customers that our 30GB "All You Can Eat" ADSL accounts would be ending on 31 May as a result of our existing contract with our wholesale service provider expiring in May,” Dotco announced.
As the disputed agreement between Dotco and Telkom comes to an end in May the two parties had little to gain from pursuing the issue further.
Telkom’s public image took a severe knock after the well publicized Hellkom case, and the monopoly may have wisely decided to settle this matter rather than blemish their image with another public skirmish. Dotco also had little to gain in pursuing the issue further as they could not offer the 30G ADSL accounts after May since their contract expires then.
The AllYouCanEay ISP placed its hopes in ICASA to effectively address the needs of customers. “We hope that the ICASA ADSL hearings scheduled for later this month will pay close attention to our customers’ needs which we have previously communicated to the Authority,” Dotco said.
