Nebula estimates that the telecommunications market in South Africa is worth around R200-billion – or equivalent to the government’s spend on education. Half of this is business spend – and one-fifth of this is wasted. There are a number of reasons for this, but key is that because of the complexities involved, many businesses are unwilling to take a closer look at inefficiencies and wastage in their own telecoms systems.
