Telkom to go mobile

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 24 February 2008

All the signs are there that Telkom wants to go mobile or start mobile operations of their own. This is the despite the fact that Telkom refuses to comment on the matter. Will Telkom become South Africa’s fourth mobile network operator?

The Internet giant, Google, has made it clear that they intent to penetrate the mobile market in South Africa. This in itself is a good enough reason for Telkom to start mobile operations of their own, because Google will certainly not waste money and resources to penetrate a dying or stagnating market. ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) don’t believe that fixed-line based technologies such as ADSL will disappear off the scene, but we do believe that traditional telephony which make use of fixed-lines, will disappear off the scene at the end of the day, or at least, take a back seat.
