ICASA: Big changes coming
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South
Africa), 28 June 2010
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) cannot help to think that
big changes are coming at the Independent Communications Authority of South
Africa (ICASA). Government is in the
process of amending legislation in order to give ICASA much more bite when it comes to the regulation of the
SA telecoms sector.
Good news for the consumer…
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) is of the opinion that most Average Joes will
welcome news that government wishes to strengthen ICASA’s hand, especially if we can see further cuts in the
prices of telecoms products and services in South Africa.
Bad news for telecoms operators…
On the other hand, we’re certain that most telecoms operators in South Africa are not too
happy about the mentioned development, especially given the fact that government wants to create a new tariff
advisory council to assist ICASA.
