JBNP is moving ahead
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 7 October
2007
The Johannesburg Broadband Network Project (JBNP) is definitely
moving ahead. This comes after ‘…a short list of companies which will build demonstration networks has been
released’ (Citywide Joburg Broadband Network moving ahead, MyBroadband, 5 October
2007).
First phase…
The JBNP ‘…was officially launched earlier this year with a Request for Information in late February. Since then
the initial 25 applicants’ submissions have been assessed as part of the process to find a suitable private partner
who will assist the city in building and operating the proposed broadband network’ (Citywide Joburg Broadband
Network moving ahead, MyBroadband, 5 October
2007).
In other words, the initial phase of the project was all about
giving potential partners the opportunity to become part of the
JBNP.
