Vodacom ‘Data Only’ Stores open
These new ‘Data Stores’ focus exclusively on anything to do with Vodacom’s data services like GPRS, EDGE, 3G, HSDPA, Blackberry and data bundles.
These stores do not belong to Vodacom and are different from the current Vodacom Walk-in centers. They do however supply support and are well equipped to deal with issues related to Vodacom’s data services.
This new development from the cellular company was welcomed by MyADSL forumites. Support and expert service remains a problem in the broadband arena, and businesses focusing solely on these issues will be of great benefit to consumers.
With the significant growth in data services in the mobile arena it is not surprising to see specialized data shops. There are already in excess of 50 000 Vodacom data cards in use today, and this figure is expected to rise sharply with the huge marketing drive behind HSDPA.
This kind of specialty store can serve to push the popularity of broadband forward. With a broadband penetration rate of only 0.5% there is a massive untapped market waiting in South Africa.
