Telkom’s future

Already, its service levels have improved and its customer care is on the up. Now all we need are substantial cuts in the cost of calls and a slashing of its already diminishing fees for internet access and we’ll have a world-class operator with a loyal customer base.

must be some good zol around these days, puff puff pass.
 
If they start pulling their finger out of their ...... Stop ripping the consumers with high prices, jack up service levels, it could be that they can pull it off, but if they continue on this trend - chasing profit and ripping off consumers, no customer service, they can forget it.
 
If an acquisition is vetoed, Telkom must poach as many skilled technicians as it can to offer the same broad services that buying an IT company would achieve instantly. It’s the only way for Telkom to survive and grow in an increasingly competitive environment.

Telkom + skilled technicians in the same sentence? Yup, pass that zol...
 
If Telkom concentrates only on providing realiable backbone they will cut their costs and increase profits.

They need to get out of the end user market, as lucrative as it might seem, as this is a high cost part of the market and only concentrate on the wholesale provision of connectivity.

Yes, their turnover might suffer and they will be smaller, but they will be a more profitable entity.

Thing is shareholders will never accept that.
This is the catch 22, how to maintain Telkom's existing shareprice (with growth) and open up the telecoms market in SA at the same time.
To borrow from our friend Stevie Whitelies,,, its not doable.

@ the DoC: its a tangled web we weave.

I'll give the techs the benefit on this one... that's the most skilled part of telkom... unless you take into account their capitalism skills.

lol, exactly ... how is it our journalists are so out of touch, or do companies like telkom just have the media wrapped around their fingers? or do our journalists writing these "feel-good" pieces simply mimic the formulas used for similar articles in countries that actually have competition, in the belief that cloning an international style implies quality?

Does Telkom advertise in BusinessDay? Just a thought.

hehe, about the only place Telkom dont advertise is on toilet paper, to much competition with the hot smelly air and maybe to LooLoo for them.
 
VERY soon, the Telkom we know today will look very different.

Whats up with all these lies lately... All it is is talk talk blah blah and until something happens thats all it will be
 
Telkom's future according my crystal ball. Bleak within the next two years: No techies, No customers and Angry shareholders.
