The info below might be interesting for those of us who will be in Cape Town. AFAIK you don't have to be a member of ISOC to get this cheap deal for mobile telephony. And otherwise, just become a global member. It is free... Marc On Wed, 17 Nov 2004, at 19:30 [=GMT+0900], Adam Peake wrote:

Hi all,
A couple offers of hospitality for all ISOC global members....
Firstly ISOC-ZA will provide you with a local GSM sim card for use anywhere in SA in your mobile handset. i.e. if you have a GSM mobile phone we will obtain and email you a local number for you to share and use when you are here. The card can be used for unlimited inbound calls and 10 free outbound SMSs but does not contain any free outbound calling minutes. Outbound minutes (airtime) are readily available in the main hotel convenience store and from most 'corner' stores. We will deliver the sim card to your hotel before your arrival so that you can collect it on check in. Please send me (or terri@freedom.co.za) an email with your hotel (if you have booked one) and we will email you the (incoming telephone) number in ~48 hours. Especially those from developing countries will save on incoming and outbound call costs. http://www.cellc.co.za/renderxml.asp?sectionpage=easychatstdrecharge
Also, two chapter delegates have responded to my request asking if anyone was interested in having a chapter-delegates get together in Cape Town during the ICANN meeting. I am sure there may be more so please send me an email if your interested. At this stage we tentatively expect to have an informal social gathering at the Manenbergs Jazz Cafe - Waterfront precinct - on Sunday Dec 4 - 8pm.
Please distribute this message to your members.
kind regards,
Alan ISOC-ZA Chair
