    TalkCentral: Episode 15 – ‘High fibre’

    There’s no end to the news flow in SA’s telecommunications industry. The big news this week is the new joint venture between Cell C, Convergence Partners and Dimension Data‘s Internet Solutions, FibreCo, which will build a national transmission network at an eventual cost of R5bn.

    In the first phase of FibreCo’s roll-out, it will hook up Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, and provide links to the country’s three submarine cable landing stations.

    In this week’s episode of TalkCentral, your hosts Duncan McLeod and Candice Jones talk about what FibreCo means specifically for Cell C and Internet Solutions.

    We then take a look at Cell C’s decision to sell its base stations to American Tower Corp in a US$430m deal, examine Vodacom‘s stellar data growth, look at Nashua Mobile’s new CEO, Andy Baker, and delve into the new contract packages from Telkom‘s 8ta.
