Johannesburg, 18 October 2006

Telecom Namibia is converting its fixed network from a digital switched platform to an all Internet protocol (IP) network with seamless provision of services across all technology, whether fixed or wireless.
The project is expected to be completed in the next four years.
We have committed ourselves to bring high-speed broadband networks to our residential and business customers, starting December this year. We intend to crowd the market with technologies that will deliver broadband, says MD of Telecom Namibia, Frans Ndoroma. He adds that the process to deploy the fixed broadband, mobile broadband and business products such as Ethernet had already started.
By Christmas time, people in Windhoek, Otijiwarongo, Oshakati, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay will be able to access the pre-paid switch services, while the rest of the country will benefit by the end of next year, Ndoroma says.
Strategic blueprint
Telecom Namibia has unveiled its 2006/7 directory, in line with the country's launch of the Strategic Blueprint for 2010.
In presenting the new-look directory, Ndoroma says the company made an effort to improve the readability, usefulness and correctness of the information contained in the new edition.
The directory is a practical and authoritative guide for residential and business telephone, facsimile, telex, e-mail, Web sites, postal and street numbers, Ndoroma says.
Besides giving emergency telephone numbers prominence for easy access, the directory has new listings under a classified medical section such as acupuncturists, biokinetics, dental laboratories, family physicians, homeopaths, laboratories, orthodontist, pathologists and psychometrics.
The directory has an on-line edition which will be developed into a Web site in order to accommodate advertisements, he says.
