Saldanha Bay municipality’s fibre network will be a basic utility for residents

The Saldanha Bay Municipality has launched its Baobab proof-of-concept project, which aims to make fibre a utility in the area.

It said the project is a joint initiative through the Saldanha Bay Innovation Helix programme, with Stellenbosch University and the private sector.

That's ambitious - to connect residents and make money on a public network. I am tracking with interest.

About time.

Mobile data will become a utility as well.

very cool. it would make sense to make this a prerequisite with all new developments too. so strange seeing brand spanking new neighbourhoods pop up and fibre is nowhere to be seen. at least provide the infrastructure to each property if it has not reached the development yet.

Hope Stellenbosch Uni don't try to decolonise your fibre network
