Ok so telkom provided the less privileged with public phones and what happened? It is all good and well we think that people need this – the question is do “these people” think they need it. I mean if you don’t have a house – would a “cheap” pc be on your mind. Maybe I am missing the point here? Who/What is the target market? Seeing electricity is a scarce resource is some areas maybe we should look at this?
