      <title>Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;When you live in a country where 2 million people have had their phone lines disconnected because of an inability to pay even for the most basic telecommunications, where the cost of broadband (or as we like to call it &amp;#8220;fraudband&amp;#8221;) is 1000% more expensive than similar services elsewhere and where the newly appointed &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CEO&lt;/span&gt; of the government sponsored &lt;a href="http://www.hellkom.co.za"&gt;monopoly&lt;/a&gt; says in an &lt;a href="http://www.mg.co.za/articlePage.aspx?articleid=256724&amp;#38;area=/ten_questions/"&gt;interview&lt;/a&gt; :&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;blockquote&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t buy the issue around our costs being appalling&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/blockquote&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Then it&amp;#8217;s time for someone to do something.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.info.gov.za/leaders/ministers/communic.htm"&gt;Ivy&lt;/a&gt;? &lt;a href="http://www.info.gov.za/leaders/depmin/communic.htm"&gt;Roy&lt;/a&gt;? Are you there? &lt;a href="http://www.icasa.org.za"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;ICASA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;? Anyone willing to do something? Anyone at all?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
