sno

It is significant that yesterday, the Minister of Communications, Minister Ivy Matsepe-Cassaburi announced that the Second National Operator (SNO) will be granted a licence on 17 September 2004.

It is unfortunate that it has taken this long to announce the SNO, and we are hopeful that the September 17 deadline will not be shifted.

so what could possibly be the delay, it's been over a year since that announcement?

one could spectulate on the numerous reasons, but it won't help. so how can we make it happen?

supporting hellkom might be a good place to start. Click on Facts & Info, very scary stuff indeed!

President Thabo Mbeki labeled the rates charge on fixed lines telephony in South Africa as "unacceptable" in his State of the Nation address in February [2005].

nice observation president, what's being done to fix that?
