Game on

The wait is finally over, it's time to test the offerings

For some time there has been a joke going around in telecom circles of the "rarely spotted second network operator".

Such has been Neotel's silence since it was awarded its licence in late 2005 that it was almost forgotten by the public. In fact the only sign that Neotel was active was the digging up of the roads where fibre was being laid.

The lack of fan fare with which Neotel has gone about setting up its network is in contrast to the amount of expectations put on it when its licence was granted. There were hopes that it would rapidly install a network and become a competitor to the incumbent fixed-line operator, Telkom.
