iBurst's 100 base station milestone

Wireless broadband provider iBurst last week commissioned its 100th base station, in Boksburg, after its nationwide roll-out plan began in November 2004 with the commissioning of a base station in Sandton. iBurst plans to roll-out base stations at an average rate of two per week until it has covered 80% of the South African population by November 2007. This original launch target compares favourably with that of iBurst's Australian counterpart, which aims to eventually cover 75% of the Australian population.
