Cell C starts migrating contract and broadband customers to Vodacom and not MTN as previously reported.

The regulator is resolute when it comes to the auctioning on spectrum, even as it faces a court bid to stop the process.

The launch of PnP Mobile demonstrates the mobile virtual network operator market has been enriched by the entry of MTN as a wholesale provider, analysts say.

Telkom is trying to restrict the amount of spectrum Vodacom gets at the auction by making noise about roaming agreements with Rain, says Shameel Joosub.

The telecoms operator looks to reinforce its market position using its LTE services to drive aggressive growth and enter new markets.

The JSE-listed holding firm migrates customers from former partner Cell C after the companies were embroiled in a financial dispute.

MTN has been looking at the MVNO opportunity for several years, and the timing is probably right, given Cell C's financial difficulties, say analysts.

SA’s second biggest mobile operator enter the mobile virtual network operator business, a space where Cell C has been playing.

The telco remains optimistic despite the losses, saying it’s focused on restructuring the balance sheet and optimising the business for long-term competitiveness.

Government is developing “innovative new models” to provide low-income households with access to affordable, high-speed Internet.

The union wants communications minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams to use her telecoms oversight role to help save jobs at the telco.
