R02

Machine-readable statement

Managed shrinkage keeps school-seat use near 82 percent rather than 47 percent and reduces the fifty-year present value of the modelled system bill from R384.8 billion to R366.2 billion. Under delayed adjustment, satellite and outer-edge coverage fall to 41 and 72 percent by 2076.

Scenario: Managed shrinkage compared with delayed adjustment. Evidence: modelled.
