The price war that mweb started when they launched their uncapped ADSL offering is indeed a huge deal at the moment.The fact is, SA has a HUGE population that's never been exposed to broadband internet since it's just been too expensive. If broadband suddenly gets affordable there is a chance of a tech mini-bubble emerging here a couple of years late.

- helium 17y agoAs much as I agree with you, that is not where the cool stuff will happen. Sad as it may be, innovation on the web has never really been centered around education. And as far as the goverment is concerced, I don't think that smart ways of using technology to improve education are on the cards soon.
