Major policy shift for telecoms expected
Policy recommendation to further liberalise the telecoms industry and bring down the cost of communications would be announced next month, the communications department promised yesterday. |
State proposes cap on microlenders’ loan rates
The department of trade and industry (dti) has proposed a cap on the internet rate charged by microlenders on small loans as part of the department’s move to curb reckless lending and avoid unfair practices. |
Expert communicators fail to...communicate
TO OUTSIDERS, it may seem that marketers, creative types, public relations practitioners and other communication experts are cut from the same cloth. The truth is, relations are pretty sour between them. |
Mentorship would increase skills level
Small businesses are often ignored or underrated by their larger peers, making it difficult for them to grow. |
Broadband changes the way small companies operate
In the past many small businesses connected to the internet with a dial-up line because the cost of a permanent Diginet leased line connection was prohibitive, says Ermano Quatero, director of business solutions at Internet Solutions (IS). |
What is in the Budget for Business
The following information was released by SARS following the budget speech last week. |
