Telkom calls for video on demand tender applications

I'll bid - and supply analogue dialup modems with 2400bps line speed :D

But seriously - why do overseas companies have to come in and do the job? Can't we do the job ourselves? :confused:
 
Wouldn't be too surprised if Naspers secured this tender.

Wonder if they'll throttle video abusers :whistle: :D

Well, that wouldn't surprise me either :D

EDIT: They would most likely throttle the folks that only watch new content but the ones that stream the old content (aka repeats in Naspersland) will never have a problem.

A few years too late.... should have done this with the cash received from the sale of their Vodacom shares instead of wasting most of it by venturing into Africa.
 
I would love to see triple-play brought in as soon as possible, but I've seen too many announcements before, to get excited.

My forecast: project will cost a lot, deliver late, provide unexciting content and either be overpriced, or heavily subsidised so that the industry cries foul. Take-up will be minimal.

Then another player will come along (Netflix, directly, or Samsung for example) together with MWeb or IS or Afrihost, and really get the market moving.
