Vodafone using SA as a testing ground?

I see over on The Register that Vodafone UK are only now starting to publicly over the HSDPA data cards offered over here via Vodacom partnership for a couple months already.

Interesting, does this mean that SA could be seen as a valuable testing ground for such new technologies by the international telecoms players?

    It was still risky at that stage.
    Its easier to reboot – and make excuses for crashing a small african network than it is a European”
