Please find attached a brochure describing a local Fibre-to-the-Home
Project.

I own Posix Systems, a local ISP (Internet Service Provider) based in
Wapadrand Office Park.  I was also the person behind the (Non-profit)
CO.ZA Registry system, now with almost a million Domain Names.  I live
in Die Wilgers close to Oulandsloop and am a DWRA Committee Member.
It is the objective of my company to install a Fibre Optic Service in
this area (The Willows/ Die Wilgers) and elsewhere in Pretoria East.
The attached PDF flyer gives more detail and suggests you visit the
website https://ftth.posix.co.za/ where there is more information and
the ability for you to show interest in supporting the Fibre Project.

Apart from offering residences and local businesses a much, much
faster and competitively priced system (Internet, Telephone and TV
signalling), it is also an opportunity for me to serve my local community.

Fibre in the ground would allow for the best possible communications
for Surveillance Cameras and as long as there are adequate customers,
I'll provide this connectivity for free.

It will also allow me to provide free, fast and plentiful connectivity
to the schools in our area.  This will be an additional advantage to
our children's education.

In addition to Internet, I hope to persuade people to use my
Voice-over-IP Telephone System (you can keep your existing Telephone
Number).  With VoIP phones installed, this can offer the local
community a simple and free way to access its membership, leave
messages (that might traditionally be done via Radio).  It can also be
used as an alternative and free method (rather than Cell/Telkom) to
verify visitors at any of the local Gated communities.  One could even
provide a video feed from the gate over the fibre.

I am also willing to provide a Fibre Service to Telephone-only users
at a competitive price (lower that Telkom SA's current Voice pricing).
This will allow the Fibre Service to be upgraded to include Internet
very easily in the future yet immediately provide the resident with
the same Voice services such as free on-net calling.

I am therefore trying to contact and have interest shown in the Fibre
Project from as many people as possible in order to help secure the
necessary financing.  I am hoping that the attached flyer will be
re-distributed as widely as possible to fellow workers, family,
friends and associates anywhere in Pretoria East or on the projected
route from here to Rosebank and Isando in Johannesburg.

Interest only counts if you show support on the web at
https://ftth.posix.co.za/

Best regards
