MyWireless bows out

State-owned Sentech will phase out its MyWireless retail products in their current form during the 2008/9 financial year. Poor service delivery and Sentech’s inability to deliver on its mandate of becoming South Africa’s wireless broadband champion have destroyed its chances of becoming a major competitor in the retail market. The operator’s 2007/8 annual report has committed Sentech to focus more attention on its public and wholesale service, alongside its 2010 directive, rather than any consumer business it was targeting before.
