MTN South Africa has terminated services to Wireless Business Solutions (WBS)\/iBurst for non-payment on 6 June 2014.<\/p>\n
MTN said that, while there was no binding agreement between the parties, it continued to transmit and terminate SMS messages originating from WBS\/iBurst on MTN\u2019s network.<\/p>\n
However, MTN said that WBS\/iBurst refused to pay the operator for such services and as a result MTN terminated services to WBS\/iBurst.<\/p>\n
\u201cMTN has no legal obligation to render such services and in particular, where such services are not being paid for,\u201d said Fusi Mokoena, MTN SA general manager of commercial legal.<\/p>\n
WBS\/iBurst approached the High Court for an order to force MTN to reinstate the services to WBS\/iBurst.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis matter was argued before the South Gauteng High Court on Tuesday and Thursday last week [10 and 12 July 2014] and judgement will be delivered at 14h00 today [17 July 2014],\u201d said Mokoena.<\/p>\n
WBS\/iBurst was asked for comment, but the company did not respond by the time of publication.<\/p>\n
