Telkom’s new enemy

lol mr price obviously doesn't have a good relationship with telkom... i know of a number of large corporate groups within SA that have had deals with telkom that allow free phonecalls to and from all companies within South Africa that belong to the same holding company/group. this goes back as far as 5-7 years.
 
I was listening to the Moneyweb Power Hour and meant to mention this. Its astounding that one company whose core business isntmaking phone calls could save R20-50 million a year. They also mentioned Mr Price's annual turnover which I cant quite recall suffice to say that telecoms costs are huge against those earnings.

It warms my insides to hear that the corporate world is giving the finger to Telskum: Long overdue.
 
Telkom is so daft.

They've just been ripping off everyone and instead of making drastic changes they make special deals with some companies--cloak and dagger style--and those they don't do deals with are likely to leave.

So the logic would have been for them to lower prices, up service levels, through their pride and actions they regain everyone's respect and thus retain most customers who do business with them.

Instead they did the exact opposite and now they're hurrying and scurrying to save their business and income streams. But I doubt they'll only loose 15% of their business. I suspect it'll be more. Their mentality and business models are not conducive which reflects their attitude--seemingly that they're doing us favors.

Unless Telkom pulls a fast one and ups VOIP traffic cost on their data lines.... They are more than capable of this crap!
 
Well, considering government has just appointed NeoTel as their service provider, I think Telkom have already lost 15% before NeoTel have even launched.
 
Awwww, poor Telkom. It couldnt happen to a nicer company
 
Telkom in trouble? I don't think so. They have been milking us dry for years now. They prob have enough money in reserve to last them a decade or so.

What's it taking so long to get VOIP implemented anyway? I think people are afraid of change anyway so they stick with what they know...even if it hurts.

I wonder how much companies save that actually use their phones a lot???
 
Who knows what telkom is doing in secret? they will for sure secure there income
