The Internet Society of South Africa (ISOC-ZA) has joined other organisations in calling for the government to urgently address the high cost of bandwidth in the country. In a statement, the organisation said that the true cost of bandwidth is clear from the dramatic slow-down in the growth of Internet users in SA. A recent report shows that growth slowed to 6% in 2003. At this rate, only one in ten people in SA will have Internet access by 2006.
