Buddies listen to this possibility : After a long discution on IM with a old buddy of mine from Korea, the following seems reasonable to become reality. UMTS/3G has been a huge loss of money in licence fees and still needs even more money to install/build new repeater-towers to cover the same area as GSM.(About 3x as many !) A better option seems to be when implementing EDGE for the next 2-3 years at very little expence and then installing WIMAX for hi data connections when it will be available.No new towers need to be installed and using Voip even voice calls can be made on WIMAX..70Mbps and 50KM are the WIMAX specs.What do you think about this ? Especially in SA seems to make sens .

WHY wait for wimax... 70mb/s!!!!!! 3g isnt a once of thing 3g speeds is like a standard Vtec... its fast but can be modified to be 10x faster.... the fastest 3g is about 1-2 Gigs per sec!!!!!!!!!

3000 customers is quite bad considering all the marketing that has gone into 3G.

Well vodacom should advertise 3G as competing against telkom. Coz the data rates is quite competitive with telkom dial up.
