MTN South Africa’s Post

Jorge I appreciate the known insights and historical perspective you’ve shared, especially regarding the challenges Cell C has faced over the years. Your attention to the company’s trajectory and its ongoing issues shows a deep understanding of the situation. While your observation is valid, it's important to recognize that this is not a new concern. In fact, Cell C has been in a turnaround phase for over a decade now, and the downfall started to intensify when Lars took over Cell C the start of an era best described as the Cell C 'state capture' period. A move by Simon Duffy that caused serious damage. One of his last soldiers were arrested in 2022. It is discouraging to see at this point of the game another rebranding exercise. After several rebranding efforts in the recent past that have cost millions, there has been no real value created for shareholders. In summary I believe that revisiting old strategies without substantial change may not lead to the transformation we hope to see. It’s crucial to recognize the pattern of spending without tangible results and consider fresh approaches. The best leadership involves acknowledging when a course has been ineffective and steering things in a new direction.

It's surprising that with all the revenue generated by MTN and Telecel, there is no provision for a redundant link on their networks. It's a valid question to ask - why and how? As users, we rely on these networks for our daily communication and business needs, so it's important to have a backup plan in place. We urge the NCA to take action on this matter. #nca #ghana #internet #mtn #telecel

Telecom Sector Faces Potential Disruption Over License Renewal Recent media reports have raised concerns about a possible telecom blackout and the shutdown of ATMs in Pakistan due to the non-renewal of long-distance international (LDI) licenses. Many of Pakistan's LDI operators, whose licenses are set to expire in August, have yet to pay the overdue principal required for renewing their 20-year contracts. These operators are responsible for providing international telecom services, including incoming and outgoing calls. During a recent meeting of the IT standing committee, the PTA reportedly expressed concerns that failing to renew these licenses could "significantly impact" the telecom sector. This disruption could potentially affect around 50 percent of mobile traffic and render 40 percent of ATMs non-operational in the country. #News #ATMBlackout #InternetDisruptions #LDI #PTA #PaymentOverdue
