Until ICASA gets some real teeth, I don't see this happening.

Right now they are investigating the so-called "access line deficit" Telkom would see if they unbundle their phone service from ADSL. Apparently Telkom makes a loss on its analogue line rentals and uses the bundling and voice revenue derived therefrom to offset it.

ICASA is looking for an "ALD recovery scheme" to cover Telkom's losses before stuff like naked ADSL and LLU can proceed.
