Goodnews! South African Fibre wars start

With the extreme mobile use in South Africa, networks are struggling to keep up. This leaves everyone fighting hard to be the best. Both MTN and Vodacom are under huge pressure to keep up, however Telkom their main supplier is struggling to meet their increasing needs. So now they are looking elsewhere. The 2nd national fixed line operator Neotel could be a good partner, however both MTN and Vodacom have opted to install their own fibre lines.

Something huge is happening and the question is who will come out on top.

The best thing to fringsters across South Africa is that no matter what happens this can only be good news for us.
