Telkom is South Africa's largest fixed line operator and until recently was the only fixed line operator.
Telkom is no longer the single operator in South Africa, and faces competition from the second Fixed Network Operator Licensee, Neotel, as well as the three mobile operators, Vodacom, MTN and Cell-C. However, it still receives criticisms from customers, smaller operators and the Competition Commission for setting South African broadband pricing in its favour.
Telkom sold its share in Vodacom in 2009 and has plans to launch it's own mobile service offering in 2010.
