Is the research results released by NUS really that important? Well, it certainly gives us a clear picture of what’s really happening in South Africa where fixed-line costs are of a concern. ‘NUS said the survey was conducted in 14 of the most important telecommunications markets. These were Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, SA, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US’ (Telkom charges are world’s third highest, Phasiwe, Business Day, 17 May 2007). In other words, it’s not a local comparison of Zimbabwe and South Africa. Which country has the highest local call costs in the world? Belgium. ‘According to the study, Belgium has the highest local call costs in the world, charging 0,18 for a standard three-minute call during peak hours. The Netherlands ranked second, charging marginally higher than $0,14, and SA was third, at $0,14’ (Telkom charges are world’s third highest, Phasiwe, Business Day, 17 May 2007). In other words, Belgium is charging $0.04 more than South Africa ‘for a standard three-minute call during peak hours’. ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) welcomes the results of the research done by NUS. Any thinking person can now once again see that Telkom hasn’t changed a bit.
