WiMax finally here...almost

South Africa is set to get WiMax sooner than expected. Telkom have just announced their plan to set up a WiMax, beginning in Gauteng and the populated coastal areas of South Africa.

According to Telkom they plan to have a network up by next month in parts of Gauteng. At last we can catch up with Namibia and Mozambique. Who would have thought that the supposed power house of Africa would be so far behind with technology?

The WiMax network forms part of Telkom’s next generation network (NGN) which they are planning to roll out by 2011.

Let us just hope that this is not just another case of Telkom promising the world and delivering a luke warm pizza.
