8ta head Amith Maharaj interview

I hope you make the best of your position and give South Africans value for money.
 
“Perhaps our biggest frustration today as a business is that we have so many great ideas and innovative services, that had we introduced them all at the same time, we would have overwhelmed our customers.

IOW there is no clear and simple structure.

Price may be one of the reasons South Africans talk less by cellphone. Whichever way we look at it, communication costs are high. “On average South African’s pay R1,40 per minute, in China that cost is less than 14 cents per minute! Part of the challenge is the high mobile interconnection rates in South Africa. The recent reduction in the interconnect rates has come some way in cutting cellphone call rates, but not nearly enough to bring us closer to international rates.”

OK, but explain to us the other part or parts which keep costs so high.

Good for 8TA. I look forward to many more innovations.

Glaring irony, though - 8TA interconnect costs are significantly higher then for anyone else in the industry. Go figure.
