  • Superb tech news for Mzansi

    I love that it’s specific to SA but not confined to products available here. The hosts are nerds but not the awkward kind.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TCS | MTN’s Divyesh Joshi on the strategy behind Pi
Q: Why launch a new brand name Pi instead of marketing under MTN?
Pi represents a new formula for mobile and home connectivity; the name emphasizes ease of use, with the tagline 'as easy as pie' to convey simplicity and a frictionless experience.
TCS | MTN’s Divyesh Joshi on the strategy behind Pi
Q: What does this mean for margins and cost structure given no call centers and lower overhead?
Margins are expected to be accretive, with savings from eSIM and reduced debt/fraud risk passing some value to customers, while MTN maintains pricing that supports both the customer and MTN.
TCS | MTN’s Divyesh Joshi on the strategy behind Pi
Q: How does Pi relate to SuperFlex and is there cannibalization planned?
Pi is designed as an agile, stand-alone end-to-end offering to enable rapid innovation; cannibalization is not the intention, and SuperFlex customers can remain on their current product while Pi exists alongside it.
TCS | MTN’s Divyesh Joshi on the strategy behind Pi
Q: Is Pi essentially MTN's fight back or is there more to this?
The initiative is framed as a response to customer needs, not just a reaction to competitors, driven by market research showing a desire for digital-first, flexible, and simpler connectivity across mobile and home."
TCS+ | Vox Kiwi: a wireless solution promising a fibre-like experience
Q: Tell me about installation and what kind of hardware is involved?
Installation uses a small roof-mounted flat panel antenna, powered over Ethernet, connected to a router inside the home, with a two- to three-hour process and no need for underground drops, making it a relatively unobtrusive setup.
