Telkom Wholesale announced on 24 January 2014, an effective 15% price reduction on its IP Connect (IPC) product offering with effect from 01 February 2014.<\/p>\n
This announcement follows the 5% free IPC bandwidth allowance that was offered by Telkom Wholesale on a temporary basis from 1 October 2013, despite the fact that not all Internet Service Providers had taken up the offering.<\/p>\n
Telkom has now decided to convert the above allowance into aTelko permanent price reduction.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis, together with an additional 10% price reduction, means that wholesale customers will receive an effective 15% price reduction on all new and existing IPC Capacity procured from Telkom as from 01 February 2014,\u201d Telkom said in a press statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis latest price reduction must be seen against the backdrop of the 30% price reduction that Telkom announced on 1 April 2012 and the 8% price reduction implemented on 17 October 2013.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTaken cumulatively, and considering this latest price reduction, Telkom has given effective price reductions of approximately 53% over the last two years,\u201d Telkom said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that this price reduction will further assist and enable ISPs to grow fixed broadband service offerings in South Africa.”<\/p>\n
“This is yet another significant contribution by Telkom to lower the cost of communication in line with Government\u2019s objectives,\u201d said Telkom Managing Executive for Telkom Wholesale Services, Casper Kondo Chihaka.<\/p>\n
