Graham DownsSouth Africans, I'm sure you've all heard of the #PleaseCallMe debacle by now[*]. What do you think? Do you think the Nkosana Makate should get any money?
[*] In a nutshell, this guy, Nkosana Makate was working in the accounts department at Vodacom, many years ago. He came up with an idea for a service where Vodacom (a cellular provider) customers could enter a USSD code for free, and Vodacom would in turn send an SMS message to another subscriber saying asking if they would mind calling the person back. Literally, "Please Call Me", for when you don't have any airtime on your phone and you need to get in touch with someone.
Over the years, Please Call Me became a staple of Vodacom -- and other providers in South Africa -- and at its height, there were probably tens of milllions of them being sent every day.
Nkosana Makate has been embroiled in a legal battle with Vodacom for the past few years, because he believes they should pay him for coming up with the idea.
I hope I've summed that up well enough? :-)
Yes, he should get everything he wants
He should get SOMETHING, but not all he asked for
No. He was an employee, his work company property
No, because "ideas" aren't worth anything
