Advice on mobile number portability from
Altech Autopage Cellular
South Africa's long-awaited Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is
scheduled for implementation on Friday, 10 November 2006. Altech
Autopage Cellular, the largest independent service provider in South
Africa, says it "welcomes this opportunity" and has invested in
processes and systems to ensure consumers are not unnecessarily
inconvenienced when porting their numbers.

ALT
- Alt - Allied Technologies Limited - Unaudited Abridged Consolidated
Interim - 26/09/2007
Altech Autopage Cellular produced satisfactory results for the six
months under review, increasing its total subscriber base to over 850
000. Higher average revenue per user (ARPU) than the corresponding
period in 2006 underscores management`s focus on the
quality of new business. Importantly, Altech Autopage Cellular has
experienced little or no long-term effect from the introduction of
mobile number portability and very low levels of churn, reflecting its
superior service levels and comprehensive product range. The
significantly increased contribution from its national 150-store
franchise network reflects the benefits of intensive training and
appropriate resourcing in recent months.

Autopage
Altech Autopage Cellular has employed and trained a dedicated group of
people to assist our subscribers in their technological queries. This
group of staff members understands the changing nature of technology
and the growing demands for more efficient mobile solutions. The main
concern for this group is to find solutions where others fail to do so.
We understand the frustration of having the technology at your
fingertips, but no means of implementing it to your best advantage.
This is why the Technical Support Helpdesk was created to help our
subscribers in making use of these available technologies, thereby
gaining a useful tool in their everyday business concerns.

Altech especially UEC, Autopage and Netstar did particularly well. All
the other IT companies did well - the only one that was a challenge in

My mom wanted a new cell phone contract. She is not familiar with new
technology so she asked me to go with her to take out a new contract.
We went into the Autopage branch at the Nothmead square in Benoni. Jon
assisted us. He showed us the handet and got the neccessary paper work.
Within 20 minutes we walked out of the shop new contract, new phone and
a very happy mom! He was friendly and fast .... WELL DONE!

ITWeb Brainstorm
Altech Supercall Cellular, a niche service provider with some 36 000
corporate and high net-worth clients, is launching what it says is the
cellular industry's answer to private banking. Momentous Sports
Corporation director Neil Jankelowitz is one of Van Biljon's clients,
and one of the 26 people that acted as guinea pigs during the trial
period. He emphatically agrees that the service is every bit as good as
Blewett claims it is. “I started on the trial on 13 March,” he says,
“around which time I was due for an upgrade. I was very concerned about
moving my database to a new phone, especially doing that through a
retailer. As it turns out, I've not had to go anywhere. Altech
Supercall made the whole process easy.

KAPLAN EQUITY ANALYSTS - Autopage, Netstar
and UEC performance
Autopage, ALTECH's cellular service provider, and main contributor to
revenue, added 11,500 contract subscribers in the period. Total
contract subs are at 360,000. With prepaids, total subs are at 465,000.
According to CEO Craig Venter, ARPUs are around R500 per sub per month.
Churn is claimed to be 8.6%, which is very low. ALTECH feels that
Autopage is in a good position regarding the pending outcome of the
Least Cost Routing (LCR) court case. An interesting point was
Autopage's view of the three mobile operators over the past 6 months:
CellC - the most aggressive with discounted pricing and incentives to
Autopage, MTN - good growth shown, Vodacom - a more consolidating view,
not as aggressive, focusing on data and mobility. We calculate Autopage
revenue at ZAR1249mln and operating profit at ZAR70mln. While growth
will slow as our South African mobile market model shows, customer
retention and a focus on new innovative products should keep this
business producing cash for a long time to come.

MVNOs are entities that do not own infrastructure such as base
stations, but piggy-back on the networks of "traditional" mobile
operators. They buy airtime at wholesale prices from existing operators
and resell it to their own customers at discounted tariffs.
Altech-owned Autopage -- keen on becoming a virtual operator -- is one
of the players awaiting clarity on whether MVNOs would be legal in
South Africa this year.
