Why “Pirate Radio”?

You may be wondering why we named this blog: “Pirate Radio”. We’ll..

  • We have a Frog Pirate mascot.
  • The name refers to Pirate Radio stations of the old days, read: alternative media.
  • We’d like to see this a platform to interact in a casual, friendly, alternative and fun way.
  • In some ways it will be a “broadcasting” platform, but it’s not like traditional radio style broadcasting, we would like it enable two-way communication.
  • We’re taking some artistic license in being a bit rebellious and non-conformist. Read, unique and remarkable. To stand out from the rest of the pack.
  • We support a few ongoing revolutions, mostly in the South African telecommunications market. Open Source, New Media, Wifi, VoIP, Broadband Internet…
  • This blog is a “Soundtrack to these Revolutions”.

    Hey Guys,

    While being assigned the mundane task of finding a new ADSL provider after having our fair share of problems with “Hellkom” i came across you guys. After browsing numerous un-user-friendly and i must admit boring sites, i eventually came across you guys.
    Nice to see some guys putting in some effort in having a great site – and even a blog – well all i can say is i’m well impressed – you guys made my mundane search that much more interesting.
    We have decided to go with you guys for the ADSL, we like what we see.
    We are a small open-sourced web developement company and we liked the personal approach you have taken with your staff – much like ourselves…
    Anyways keep up the great work – you’ve got our business.

    Hey Warren

    Thanks for your kind comments.

    I’ve added Galore to our internal Wiki partner section. We don’t do web dev work, so we usually pass on work to partner companies.

    That Hellkom content is a bit outdated, we’ll fix it soon.
