Chinese money backs bid for Telkom Media

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 2 November 2008

This comes after Telkom and players such as e.tv got cold feet and decided to place their satellite TV aspirations on the back burner. This is despite the fact that both e.tv and Telkom Media have been rewarded pay-TV licenses.
