Home is where I work from…
Telkom has just released a quarterly earnings update for the first quarter, ended June 2021 – a tough time for telecom businesses. The lockdown period is marked by people working from home and consuming data. Telkom’s fixed-line business is down 5.6% this quarter, and revenue is only 3.5% higher year on year, driven by the mobile business.
But all is not doom and gloom…
Fibre to the home customers grew by 32%, and there are now more homes connected by fibre than by copper – a key inflection point for Telkom according to the Finance Ghost: www.inceconnect.co.za/article/telkom-reaches-an-inflection-point.
…and I work from everywhere
Working from home – or the coffee shop – has seen Telkom mobile data revenue up by 11.1% and mobile broadband customers up by 30.9%. Telkom now has 16.1 million active mobile customers and mobile revenue grew by some 13%.
But all this not sunshine and roses either…
Connectivity remains a challenge – with bandwidth restrictions and poor network coverage the mobile user experience remains rather flawed.
…because I can!
