@mteton @Me_MiniMe Are you also suggesting we should forget about the transformation of the sector and society as well ?

@Me_MiniMe As a matter of principle, as consumers we must encourage competition because it tends to drives down prices and makes services affordable. That is what should concern to us as consumers & citizens.

In 2011 as MD of Microsoft SA I signed one of the first Equity Equivalent deals in the ICT sector worth about R500m. The Equity Equivalent deal paved the way for more than R25 billion Microsoft has invested in SA under the leadership of Lillian Barnard. #FDI #DigitalSkills

@mteton You are engaging in the wrong debate, my good Sir. Equity Equivalent Investment Programmes (EEIPs) have long existed and while their overall effectiveness remains contested, that is not the core issue here.
