When is Icasa expecting the process to be completed?
 
September 2008.
 
‘In March, Mohlala told the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Communications that the process should be completed by September 2008’ (ICASA councillor quits, Vecchiatto, ITWEB, 3 May 2007).
 
In other words, Icasa has less than a year and a half to complete the process.
 
Will Icasa meet its own deadline (September 2008)?
 
It’s unclear whether Icasa will meet their own deadline or not but it seems that they will find it difficult because of:

  • Mohlala’s resignation – According to an industry insider: “Industry and the big telecommunications companies have plenty of irons in the fire, so to speak, and they need certainty about the process soon. The news of her resignation could not come at a worse time” (ICASA councillor quits, Vecchiatto, ITWEB, 3 May 2007).
     
    In other words, Mohlala’s decision to leave is not helping to clarify issues pertaining to the license conversion process.
  • Organisational problems – ‘…industry remains sceptical that ICASA, with its reported organisational problems, would be able to meet the deadline, because all it has done so far is issue a framework document on the conversion’ (ICASA councillor quits, Vecchiatto, ITWEB, 3 May 2007).
     
    In other words, Icasa can’t expect to meet the September 2008 deadline if they haven’t even went a quarter of the way.
