Good ol' Telkom doesn't like Skype

From an article on itweb, it's hilarious:

“As far as Telkom is concerned, ‘network bypass' software is illegal and - although it is difficult to police - if we feel there has been a transgression in this regard, we can investigate and file a complaint with the Independent Communications Authority of SA (ICASA), and it will then take the necessary legal action,” says Weldrick.

Complete monkeys, that's what Telkom are. They offer a kak service, charge the earth for it, then are cheeky enough to tell me that we can't go for something better, at a lower price.

If there ever was a target for a climb-down, it was Telkom.

Use skype. talk about skype. spread skype.
