DoC: Telecoms costs too high

But they are the ones keeping it high!!!1!!one

Do these people try to irritate us on purpose?
 
Ivy? oh Ivy, Instead of Monthly pains she gets them Yearly! The same old story, I am sure come January she will open the script written in 1994 on page 1 and start over again.
 
Every once in a while they feel the need to sprout forth some bullsh1t to make it sound like they are busy doing something constructive. Meanwhile the whole ministry is a joke.
 
If only Poison Ivy & Stalin-Mafole etc could be abducted & analysed by aliens - unfortunately it seems aliens believe that even milk cows are more worthy of their attention :(.

* Constituting a subcommittee to deal with the collection of sea shells.
* Prioritising the Tidal Policy Action Plan.
* Pissing another fortune down the Sewerage Outflow Pipes.

After looking at the array of items on their action plan to bring down Telecoms costs, it is clear:

Someone's home, but the lights aren't on.

This is hilarious:D

Very true that the DoC has its head you-know-where:mad:
 
The DoC's never ending cycle of announce the problem but take the money and run. They are never going to bring prices down, general public are a far too effective cash cow for them.

Torches and pitchforks anyone?
 
Jeez but we have a bunch of criminals running this country. Prices stay high because they are doing anything possible to keep it high and delaying proper competition to Telkom.
 
*mutter*

Can't we just hunt this stupid wench down and throw her into the ocean or something. I know it'll raise the sealevels by a few meters, but that damage can be fixed with the money we'll save on cheaper telecoms.
 
I wonder - does the general (read voting) populace actually realise that the government owns a very large part of Telkom? And that as a major shareholder it is they who make the big money from the bloated telecoms prices?
 
Wow, that's a comprehensive plan to do absolutely NOTHING about the high cost of telecommunications in South Africa...

See Sig.
 
They're giving Sentech 500 million to expand their useless product, and are appointing and paying people to create local content, and have put together and are paying for an institution that has a name that means absolutely nothing to me.

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh man ... they seem to be applying some weird sort of parliament logic to this problem.

You don't CREATE local content, you encourage and allow the internet users to create their own content. Hows about encouraging e-business growth by offering incentives there .. like .. tax breaks? Oh wait, they'll probably turn it into e-bee-business opportunities ... but .. that's okay as well.

You don't hand more money to a business that has ALREADY failed. That's theft, and will not appease us.

So, the Meraka e-skills institute. You're going to teach people to browse and how to do online shopping and how to create online shops and then probably employ people to build online shops and start selling peaches to the canners? Ke?
