Yellow Broadband

Do you still remember that MTN was the first in South Africa to bring you EDGE (or Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution), a 3G technology that delivers broadband data speeds to mobile devices. Do you recall that MTN EDGE is five times faster than conventional GPRS. Antone who heard of EDGE technology was very excited by then, but the only thing is that without an EDGE enabled cellphone one need GPRS + (General Packet Radio Services). MTN’s HSDPA offering took third place with 81% and its third generation (3G) service scored 65% , a worry some fact for MTN given its global reach so popular in Nigeria and recently entering politically troubled and conflict driven Middle East. In 2006 MTN customer should expect more or as Brian Seligmann Senior Manager for Data Services at MTN puts it, “real broadband”. From a user perspective that statement sound like a justification of MTN ‘s low performance on broadband generally.
