The death of Traditional Vsat in Zimbabwe is a good thing Vsat in Zimbabwe is dead, and it's a good thing. Paying 1k for 512kbps - 1Mbps was just insane. You can get the same speeds from a $5 Starlink package on Roam Standy

Telecel’s slow death continues. POTRAZ Q2 shows: - Subs down to <2% of market - Voice and data traffic now less than a rounding error - No new LTE/5G sites Is Telecel still a real player, or just surviving on paper? What should the govt do about this? techzim.co.zw/2025/09/telece…

Still angry at Econet for SmartBiz's death? Fair. But those new 5G base stations you’re seeing on your phone? They cost Econet millions NetOne chipped in with plenty of LTE stations, too, so you're welcome For the sector, profits are up & costs are down techzim.co.zw/2025/09/zimbab…

It's a bit concerning that the biggest courier service provider in Zimbabwe, FedEx, is closing branches like nobody's business. Closed 24% of outlets in just Q2 2025. What's going on here?

To be honest, I don’t really get why people are still copying iPhone designs when they aren’t as visionary anymore.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5? What happened to the "Gen 4"? If you're confused by Qualcomm's latest name choice, you're not alone. It does make sense though Regardless, the chip looks set to increase lead against the competition, including the Apple A19 Pro techzim.co.zw/2025/09/snapdr…
