FNB連接

訂閱南非最大的銀行客戶,Capitec,推出了一個新的移動提供承諾重組預付定價的縣。加入另外兩家銀行集團擁有自己的移動虛擬網絡運營商(MVNO)狀態,FNB之後,推出FNB連接早在2015年,標準銀行移動,在2018年推出。每100字節或R4.50 R45每gb Capitec連接數據平均50%低於正常市場價格,和利率保持不變的客戶是否購買或大量小,該組織聲稱。”提供的數據也沒有到期,使用SIM至少在6個月一次,這意味著Capitec客戶永遠不要失去他們付費,”它說。Capitec連接預付價格如下:R45每GB(~ 5美分/ MB) 90每分鍾通話時間25 C / SMS Capitec連接上運行C細胞網絡。這是FNB所使用的相同的網絡連接。標準銀行(Standard Bank)移動,與此同時,使用C細胞和MTN的網絡能力。Capitec提供的是一個純粹的預付服務不附加任何合同和設備銷售。FNB連接還提供預付選項,以及一係列合同和設備包,包括包數據。標準銀行進軍移動服務更為複雜,將其定價結構附加到銀行賬戶和獎勵計劃。 The bank provides a convoluted breakdown of how the system works on its website – but for the comparisons below, we’ve selected the standard out-of-bundle rates. This is how the three banking networks compare on the basics of prepaid: Network 16 cents One of the key differentiators of Capitec Connect is the fact that data does not expire, the group said. Regulations proposed in 2017 by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) and the National Consumer Commissioner advocated for data to remain valid for at least three years. These proposed regulations were later removed from the charter and replaced with more lenient provisions. Data expiration has been a controversial topic among mobile operators, which have introduced various ways to ‘roll-over’ data for a set period, but have been unable to drop the expiration entirely. The big mobile operators, like Vodacom, have argued that the proposal would lead to much higher data prices. Capitec said it is now addressing the issue of data expiry head-on. Speaking to MyBroadband, security researcher Rogan Dawes provided a technical explanation on why data expiry leads to cheaper prices. Dawes explained that internet service providers (ISPs), including mobile networks, buy capacity rather than data, and that capacity has a time element, expressed as “per second”, which data did not. Unused capacity can never be recovered. Dawes said that enforcing lengthy data rollover periods could cause “all sorts of problems”. For example, if most subscribers only started using their data at the end of a long expiry period, the ISP would need to upgrade capacity to avoid their connection hitting the ceiling. If the ISP has to buy more capacity from the get-go to account for this possibility, they would have to pass the extra costs on to their customers.
