Great news for fringsters on the Cell C network:
Earlier this year Cell C announced that it “has signed a R2.9bn deal with the Chinese telecom equipment provider ZTE Corporation” this came shortly after announcing that the firm would be spending R5bn to upgrade it’s network to 4G in 2010.
Cell C has now also revealed that the “Nokia Siemens Networks was appointed as the second vendor in its network expansion and upgrade plans.” The network rollout has started, and will be launch as soon as Cell C feels it has enough high quality coverage nationwide.
With the recent MTN, Vodacom and now Cell C network upgrade in South Africa, the bandwidth war is heating up nicely and Mobile internet is slowly starting to become cheaper. Things are shaping up nicely for internet users and fringsters in this land and I can’t wait for the day when mobile broadband rates can compare with landline rates.
