Put your money where your mouth is – win a Samsung Galaxy Tab

[Rudolph Muller]

This week we have an interesting competition: Many people feel that they can do better than the cellular operators or ISPs to build innovative broadband packages. It is now the time to put your money where your mouth is:

To Enter

Design an ADSL product (bundles ADSL access and ISP, or only a data package) or a mobile/wireless data product which you think people would want.

Please note that the service must be attractive for both consumers and companies (companies must therefore be keen to launch this service as they will make money).

Multiple entries allowed (please post one idea per post).

Winner

The best idea will win a 7’’ Samsung Galaxy Tab, and the runner up will win an iPod Shuffle. The winner will be selected by two industry players which will vote on the most feasible and realistic idea.

Important advice

Please don’t simply cut prices (like uncapped for R100) – the idea is that you design a cool service which will still have some margin for ISPs or cellular operators, and at the same time will be attractive to users. Consumers and companies must therefore benefit.

The competition will close on Friday 17 February

Mobile data package for tablet PC owners

10 GB data bundle with a data life span of 12 months for R999.

It is better value for money than the usual pricing for 1GB x 12 month contracts (and prepaid) and will make it easier for people to load data without contract concerns.

Now this is uber interesting! Can't wait to see the ideas pouring in! Now to figure something out that would please both sides of the penny!

3G HSPA+: 10 GB @ R100

There's probably something out there like this already but I'd propose a single account for everything. Basically whether you're using 3G or ADSL or even voice, it should all be bundled together and if it could all run off an uncapped data account it would be even better.

You stole my idea...Non-business hours packages. I dont need ADSL at home during business hours, and it will be cool if I can save some money with after hours packages.
