Telkom said on Wednesday that it has concluded a roaming agreement with mobile
operator MTN South Africa.
Telkom said in a statement that it has placed orders to build 2 000 new base
stations in selected high-density areas over the next two years, and also concluded a
five-year national roaming agreement with MTN South Africa in terms of which Telkom
and its customers will have national access to MTN's 2G and 3G network throughout
South Africa.
The capital programme for mobile related investments over the next five years is
expected to be about R6bn, it said.
"The conclusion of a roaming agreement with MTN South Africa enhances Telkom's
ability to offer Telkom customers extensive and national mobile coverage from day one
of launch and, accordingly, is key to the delivery of a successful mobile strategy," it
said.
Following the disposal of its 50% stake in Vodacom, Telkom announced its
intention to enter the mobile voice and data business and the latest agreement is the
next step in this strategy.
