Dr. Tim Kelly at 2nd Colloquium - presentation

Is there any way to contact Dr. Kelly and inform him of Telkom's Nov 1st broadband pricing changes?

RPM do you have those kinds of contacts?

For one, according to his report where we were 2nd last, these changes would effectively place us last.
 
Thanks ant.

From listening to Dr. Kelly's presentation, he also thought that 384K lines were the slowest lines when in fact Telkom introduced a 192K offering.
This would have made the spesifc comparable country statistic he mentioned sound even worse.
 
I believe the 384 he is refering to was chosen as entry level because he doesn't concider less as broadband or comparable to the benchmark countries...
 
Did it sound like he said 384 MEGAbytes in the presentation or was that just me hearing voices?

BTW, thanks Ant for making the MP3 available - muuuuch appreciated!

Yeah, he mistakenly said that SA has a entry level broadband speed of 384Mbps (should have been 192Kbps). He also mistakenly said that Japan and Korea had an entry level broadband speed of 12.3Gbps (should be 12.3Mbps).
 
"South Africa was 15th with regard to internet penetration (1994), now it's not even in the top 50."

:eek:

RPM if you need the Nov 1st pricing changes. I've used the SAIX letters sent to MaD and added VAT and converted to US$ for perusal. The figures can be found here:

I've included the ADSL line rental fee, because ICASA hasn't released anything about dropping the fee altogether with reference to it's findings document.
 
Thanks Ant,

Dr. Kelly certainly knows his subject; I just hope the powers that be accord his ideas the attention they deserve.

I did cringe every time he used the words Telkom and Penetration in the same sentence though :)
 
Thanx for posting ant.
I think it was a pretty powerful speech, proper comparisons with nations that we compete with in the marketplace.
Beats a Markinor survey anytime, lol
