Great Cultural fit with US and UK
South Africa has historic trade relationships with many European countries, particularly the UK, Netherlands, France and the US.

This represents 39% of the total lines installed in Africa. The network is almost wholly digital. Digital microwave and optical fibre serve as the main transmission media for the inter-primary network, interconnecting all major centres.
