Discontinuation of MyWireless, VAS and BizNet

Sentech was a pioneer in the multi-media broadband market with the launch of MyWireless and BizNet in 2004. These products played an important enabling role in bringing multi-media to the South African market and were moderately successful.

However, due to the fast changing nature of the ICT market and entry of well-funded competitors, Sentech has not been able to sustain the momentum and growth of these products and services. In addition, the equipment delivering retail broadband services is now entering the planned redundancy period.

This being the case, Sentech regrettably announces that it is withdrawing from the retail telecommunications market.  As a result the Company will discontinue the MyWireless, VAS and BizNet services on 30 November 2009. Customers are kindly advised that the normal contractual arrangements will remain in force until the termination date.

In addition to its core business of Broadcasting Signal Distribution, Sentech will henceforth concentrate on offering a wholesale broadband network as a common platform for all service providers.

Sentech would like to take this opportunity to thank its customers for their valued patronage and to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

For any assistance during the transition period please do not hesitate to contact the call centre on:
