The last time we reported on the movement around the new Telkom Tariffs was a few weeks ago, and so much has happened since then that we almost sure that this has been forgotten. My overall thought on the matter is that its disappointing that there isnt an overall decrease in the cost of deploying and utilising Voice Services with Telkom, but it is encouraging that there is a Decrease in the Voice Rates which shows that the Market is going in the right direction!
Here is a quick summary of the changes that affect Basic Business users.
