Business Day Spotlight

In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight, we talk about the progress made in implementing Cell C’s new network strategy. Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Schalk Visser, chief technology officer at Cell C, together with Simo Mkhize, the mobile operator’s chief commercial officer. The discussion focuses on why is Cell C decommissioning their radio access network; clarity around Cell C’s network structure versus that of an MVNO; the future of Cell C’s network, roaming on MTN and Vodacom; thoughts around the current spectrum allocation impasse; infrastructure sharing as a model for doing business as a telco of the future; and how Covid-19 has changed the telecoms sector.
