Vox Telecom<\/a> is planning to launch their own uncapped ADSL<\/a> service, and is even looking at their own 3G service.<\/p>\n

Vox Telecom CEO Douglas Reed<\/a> told MyBroadband that they believe uncapped ADSL is sustainable, but highlighted that a “proper business model” is essential.<\/p>\n

\u201cBottom line, [uncapped broadband] is what the consumer wants and a way has to be found for the Fair Access Policies (FAPs) to not only be transparent but not antagonize the average users,\u201d said Reed.<\/p>\n

Vox Telecom will use its own network to deliver uncapped ADSL. \u201cIt is an evolutionary process and in the interim we do offer Telkom<\/a>, IS<\/a> and MWEB<\/a> wholesale packages,\u201d said Reed.<\/p>\n

Reed is well aware that it is not easy to make uncapped ADSL work financially with fluctuating margins and stiff competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a continuous balancing act to reduce input costs and to stay competitive in this highly deflationary sector of our business,\u201d said Reed.<\/p>\n

He added that economies of scale, investment in infrastructure and a focus on Internet services is key to make ADSL profitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
