Telkom’s ADSL monopoly crippled eCommerce in South Africa
Most consumers without internet access would shop via their work internet and from our own stats there addl very few companies blocking internet access to e-commerce. You are losing out on amazing benefits because you are not a member. I believe that a eocm of incompetent ministers from Ivy Casaburri through Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, Dinah Pule et al who were appointed as Minister of Communications not for their ability to understand their portfolio but for the need to give loyal supporters within the ANC a post as a reward.

The reality is really that in SA you can only target a customer base of around 20m people and those are already connected to mobile broadband via their phones. Although TAL is supposedly not being controlled ecpm Naspers, the corporate whining is already starting to come through and blame all sorts of parties on failing to meet targets.
This is complete BS. The fixed line monopoly did not "cripple" e-commerce. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.

Big Giveaway - Win prizes worth R3, Because nobody in the ANC understood the importance of the Web to the economy, the Communications portfolio was regarded as a very minor ministry and people like Dinah Pule were free to enrich themselves and their partners rather than looking at how best to position ourselves to take advantage of ecommerce.
A fast internet connection would have adls helped "the success" of e-commerce. What's new New posts New profile posts Latest activity.

If you're doing a big order that qualifies for free shipping, then the few bucks you might spend on mobile data probably isn't an issue.

Naspers will soon own a majority stake in Takealot and last time I checked, has pretty much a monopoly over digital content in this country.
