They have already approved the appropriate technology. Its called GoalRef and will start its major use after approval in Brazil this year at the Confederations Cup and the cold Cup next year again in Brazil. This system uses a series of cameras.

Re: Hey Zimbabwean techies, do you freelance online? Should you?
The time for freelancing in zimbabwe is right now because few companies can afford indefinite work contracts. I believe if there was a visible and well organised community of local developers willing to take jobs on a freelance basis, this would reduce startup cost for many startups who are currently holding back their projects because they cannot afford the most basic and most important capital requirement: staff. To further simplify the system, like Time suggested, freelancers could accept payment in the form of shares on future profits also accepting the risk of making a loss. This way we could get a lot of projects going in Zimbabwe and no time get a real dev economy going. For now, we have developers on one side waiting on a miraculous high paying job while opposite side, we have entrepreneurs teeming with ideas but not enough money to pay demanding developers. I believe freelancing solves this problem if we can all understand team work and how much we complement each other.

Re: As other ISPs drop internet prices, YoAfrica is strangely doing the opposite
Yep confirmed, Yo Africa and probably Africa Online have a niche market in Zimbabwe... It's the only logical reason why they would get away with this.

Re: As other ISPs drop internet prices, YoAfrica is strangely doing the opposite
Internet packets consume a lot of fuel for travelling such long distance from Zim to Moza or via SA.
Please be advised that another immigration processing fee of $20 on your next bill might be added for quick clearance at the borders as they are now choking queues which add to slow internet speeds.

Re: Econet Wireless, vanishing airtime, POTRAZ, and transparency
As for me i rcvd an apology and my airtime was credited to my account (number), i doubt the other operators wld hv done that. Just becoz it wasnt publicised in the papers or becoz you were declined information by the operator and regulator does not mean no action was taken, otherwise airtime wld nt hv bn credited.

Re: As other ISPs drop internet prices, YoAfrica is strangely doing the opposite
You are on point. As a YoAfrica customer though, I am happy with my service and would gladly pay that money, no fuss. I have seen how much negative articles you have written about YoAfrica since Techzim was born. Nothing on other ISPs. Even when Utande's internet was down for over 70 Hours you were mum, when something is wrong at ZOL still nothing. That is the main reason that got me to look at YoAfrica, the dark horse and to tell you the truth, they are really the most worthy ISP around. You should ask just across the border what Mweb SA has done. It being the larget ISP in that country it also the biggest bully in there too, vis inter-connect traffic, i am just happy YoAfrica is not that bully but you favourate ZOL is turning into that bully. But you wont see that!

Re: As other ISPs drop internet prices, YoAfrica is strangely doing the opposite
I too am a YoAfrica subscriber at home and office, having previously used alternatives they are the one we stuck with a couple of years ago and I have to say I have no complaints with the service, especially at home.
I pay $80 (now $90 I guess) for Wimax unlimited 1mg, and regularly download in excess of 100 gig a month, I stream live sports online and play a lot of multiplayer games and have to say am very happy with the service for the amount I pay.
Would I like the price to go down, of course and to be fair I have some friends who have had very poor service from YoAfrica, but this is normally due to ADSL line problems rather than the actual ISP.
Its tough for me to compare to other ISPs as I last used ZOL or Telone 2 years ago and I have never tried Utande because there is no way I can download and stream over 100 gig for $90 on there.

Re: As other ISPs drop internet prices, YoAfrica is strangely doing the opposite
I see now they not offering the totally unlimited package and it now has a peak cap, guess I was lucky to get their totally unlimited package when it was available, and to their credit they have never removed me from it. Though being a home connection I do not use it during the day, any dls are scheduled to start after 5 and I only stream tv in the evenings and weekends.
How well the package works during peak hours I am not sure, I never use it then.

Re: Shopping safely abroad using debit cards
You cannot use a Zim address at the moment but you can always obtain a genuine American address that you can link to your Zim address. I would recommend usabox.com they have been in business since 1998. You should know this is beating the system and not breaking the rules. Think of it as avoiding an obstacle instead of evading it. Big difference between those two in business and of course law.

Talk about "Yo-sheep" some people are actually defending Yo's actions! HA!!...or maybe is just cleverly deployed Yo employees that have come to brainwash us into thinking paying more is always better...Clearly not anymore as times are changing for the better!

Re: As other ISPs drop internet prices, YoAfrica is strangely doing the opposite
I am not trying to defend it as a good package for a company or someone who works at home, the peak cap is horrendous. But i was pointing out that for how I use it, ie watching soccer and cricket online at night / on weekends and downloading a lot of data off peak I think the product is good.
Seen as you obviously know the internet market in Zim much better than me please can you point out a cheaper / better package which lets me stream reliably and download a 100 gig or so a month?
Some quick maths says I would spend over $800 a month on umax to achieve that...
Is the umax deal better suited to a small business of course it is, but for a large company or someone who is a heavy downloader but is happy to do it off peak there are better packages out there (be it yo or someone else). You need to find the right package for your needs, so I am keen to hear from other readers where I can save myself money on what I use the internet for.

Re: Mukuru launches mobile prepaid debit card in South Africa
Im actually glad Mukuru is evolving...I remember using them back in the 2008 era to pay for DSTV aswell as actually get hard to get groceries for a wedding! I however do think their time in the Zim market is coming to a close as we ourselves are evolving with both traditional and innovative banking, eco-cash etc...however if they continue to target other African countries that are early in development then they should have solid business for many years to come.

Re: Hey Zimbabwean techies, do you freelance online? Should you?
Freelancing is the way to go but most freelancers don't know what to do with their talent. i.e. Making a portfolio, look professional, be on time, have a work ethic. The freelancers l have interacted with focus on the free part of the word and forget that they still have to deliver services as though they where part of a big company. They tend to kiya kiya...and end up over promising and under delivering. In hindsite l have learnt to keep a pool of freelancers and always be strict and professional otherwise you get treated like a Musiyamwa Enterprise when tryin to do legit stuff!
