Neotel gears up for corporate launch

Only five years behind schedule, South Africa's official second fixed-line telecommunications provider Neotel will be launching phone and internet services for business customers from mid-March. Apparently Tata-managed company has already acquired more than a dozen large corporate customers.

They are currently putting together a cable/fibre network and a Wimax/CDMA infrastructure that has the ability to bypass Telkom's stranglehold on home phone lines. Neotel are promising to undercut Telkom's prices (how hard can it be to undercut the highest prices on the planet?) and to beat them on service (again, how hard can this be?).
