Vodacom, MTN mum after Cell C CEO accuses them of declaring war on consumers

It looks like Cell C’s CEO, Jose dos Santos, has shocked both Vodacom and Cell C into silence after accusing them of declaring war on consumers.

According to Dos Santos  “the infamous duopoly wants to limit how we use Internet services like WhatsApp – and it has nothing to do with fairness, competition, or the future of South Africa”.

“These are companies that have shown no interest in the welfare of the customers who keep them in business,” he said.

“MTN, Vodacom, and their collaborators… simply want to protect what they have and they are happy to sell the consumer out to get that.”

MyBroadband reports that neither Vodacom nor MTN were keen to take Dos Santos on, but did get a response from MTN’s Graham de Vries who said that “MTN is committed to establishing an amicable relationship with OTTs”.
