MTN said it disagrees with recommendations made in the summary report that argues data prices should fall by as much as half, with the mobile network operator still needing to study the yet-to-be released final report. a radio frequency that allows mobile phone operators to send voice and data over the airwaves — which mobile operators have long argued is vital for bringing down the cost of internet connectivity.

Vodacom, MTN lose R22bn after competition watchdog data rulingWatchdog gives firms two months to slash internet connectivity prices Good They’ve lost nothing. They cheated consumers for over 25yrs and now they must STOP. They’re lucky it’s not retribution for all those years. Noy a fan of Vodacom or MTN but this is ridiculous and i hope they fight it.

Blaming data costs on operators alone is wrong - MTN on price reportFor more than a decade, government and regulators have failed to release the spectrum that the mobile industry has so critically required to bring down the cost to communicate. We say Ts*k to that Then who controls the cost? How can there be such a disparity in pricing on the continent and internationally? Complete rubbish. The networks are guilty of colluding to keep data and calls at prices that are some of the highest in the world.
