MWEB waiting on green light ICASA

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 22 January 2008

MWEB plans to extent their WiMAX trial to more users but are waiting on The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) to give them the green light. This comes after the company has already trialled their WiMAX service for several months.

Well-known Internet Service Provider (ISP), MWEB, is planning to get closer to the 1000 WiMAX trial user mark by erecting an eight WiMAX base station in Cresta, Johannesburg. The base station will be erected as soon as they get the green light from ICASA. This will be a welcome addition to the seven active base stations they already have in Boksburg, Randburg, Soweto and elsewhere in South Africa. MWEB is waiting on a green light from ICASA in the form of a trial licence extension. Their current trial licence will expire today if not extended by ICASA.

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) is happy that MWEB is planning to extent their WiMAX trial.
