"The expansion of iBurst coverage to the capitals of the Free State, Northern Cape and Mpumalanga signals our intention to actively sign up new customers outside of the major metropolitan areas," says Alan Knott-Craig Junior, MD of iBurst.
He adds, "The Minister is correct in that nothing can give the heartland of South Africa faster access to a better quality of life than wireless broadband.
"Access to wireless broadband technologies such as iBurst can enhance the ordinary citizen's experience of freedom. Wireless broadband can increase the number of South Africans experiencing the fruits of freedom by making government services and information available to people in their own homes.
"With the arrival of iBurst, small businesspeople in particular will be amazed at how wireless broadband will enable them to do business faster, easier and more effectively," concludes Knott-Craig.
iBurst currently serves almost 20 000 subscribers and is rapidly expanding coverage to towns and cities in Mpumalanga, the Free State, Northern Cape, Gauteng, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.
