Uncapped local bandwidth
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 5 November
2007
Uncapped local bandwidth will soon
be a reality in South Africa. Despite missing their own deadline, Telkom’s says ‘…its wholesale arm is indeed ready
with a solution, but that it is now up to ISPs, including TelkomInternet, to implement it’ (Telkom says it is
ready for uncapped local bandwidth, MyBroadband, 5 November
2007).
According to Executive for Corporate Communications at Telkom, Lulu
Letlape: “SAIX (Telkom Wholesale) has advised Telkom Internet that it
has developed a technical solution in an attempt to assist Telkom Internet and all other ADSL Broadband Providers that
acquire their bandwidth from SAIX to comply with regulation 3.4 of the ADSL regulations” (Telkom says it is ready
for uncapped local bandwidth, MyBroadband, 5 November 2007).
In other words, all ADSL Broadband Providers that buy
bandwidth from SAIX are now technically speaking able to provide us with uncapped local bandwidth.
