I guess its fun to bash Telkom … but at least know what you’re talking about

The new Do Broadband bundles from Telkom are not Telkom Media. And Telkom Media has (very very very little) to do with Do Broadband. Contrary to speculation.

The ads on Webmail’s seemingly disastrous “blogging” platform have been booked there by clueless media planners. Do Broadband bundles are exactly that. Bundled internet access from Telkom Internet.

Suffice to say though, that I have seen Telkom Media’s IPTV platform. It works. The platform is incredibly powerful and is world-class (I’m sure a some will be surprised at this). I am also aware of some of their plans for content and social media (including video). Telkom Media is going to have so much content, it’ll hardly know what to do with it.

I have spoken to execs involved at Telkom Media and I wouldn’t be shocked if they give some existing players in the media space (not just pay TV) a serious run for their money. And Telkom Media has deep pockets.

    Do Broadband bundles,what a joke.With that kind of bundle,what really can you do on the www.I have 100mbs speed,unlimited downloads,but I still think my connection is slow.
    Compared to the kind of broadband plans Telkom is issuing,I will pull all my hair out in frustration.
    I guess we should blame the government which is not technological savvy.They think internet is a
    luxury.
    May they will wake up in 2050.
