Playing by the numbers

Three weeks after wireless broadband provider iBurst reached the 50 000 subscriber milestone, its total nationwide complement of base stations stands at 200. “We switched on our 200th base station a full three months ahead of schedule which is pretty impressive if you consider that site approvals can take over a year,” says Thami Mtshali, iBurst CEO. The latest iBurst base station is located in Randburg.
