@Alex, self defeating ? Is cheaper internet going to make operational costs cheaper? I don't think so. Internet is a very small corner of expenditure of most businesses. The effects are not going to be felt to except those who are doing large established turnovers. The majority rest will continue to feel the effects of almost fake economies i.e expensive borrowing, lack of loan peformances, a glut in unemployment and its effects, physical security business doing booming business and cost of food, fuel, rent, electricity, transport remains high.The Internet is also not going to change anyones lives in slum or informal settlement areas who will continue crying out for food, basic needs and a better future. 

 

Indeed, banks and other servcie sectors have led the way in conmen schemes out to steal and exploit the country with the BIG green light from governance.

 

Try borrowing on that 14-17% on loans and see if it makes any business sense to be doing so, unless it can be passed on to end users and higher pricing..... :-)
