South Africa’s mobile operators are perpetuating the digital divide with high prices, argues Paul Colmer.

This year will likely be remembered as the one when the concept of “Wi-Fi everywhere” became a reality.

If Vodacom had succeeded in its deal to buy fibre operator Maziv, rural South Africans would be the ones to suffer.

Technologies such as Passpoint and Open Roaming can help bridge the gap in South Africa’s spectrum battle.

One of the hottest debates in South Africa today revolves around 6GHz spectrum, particularly its allocation for either Wi-Fi or 5G.

Connectivity should be driven by market needs rather than manipulated by powerful operators.

Dynamic spectrum sharing offers a compelling solution to meeting growing demand for broadband internet access.

Wi-Fi is poised for significant advances in 2024, writes the Wireless Access Providers’ Association’s Paul Colmer.

The unprecedented damage to three major undersea internet cables has thrust South Africa into a precarious position.

Here’s the thing: we don’t need faster internet. Rather, we need to get existing technologies into the hands of more people.
