Pressure mounting on ICASA

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 1 March 2009 

The pressure is mounting on ICASA (The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa)to adjust the planned 3000% hike in license fees to a more realistic level, and to give serious thought to issues relating to frequency spectrum allocation and interconnection fees.

 

ISPA pushing for positive change…

The Internet Service Providers' Association of South Africa (ISPA) is the latest association to join the army of individuals and organizations,pushing for positive change in the telecoms sector, by placing pressure on ICASA to make positive changes and adjustments.

It is no secret that Altech, who went to Court last year to force the review of ICASA’s licensing process, managed to blown open the door to increased competition in the telecoms sector. This came after thePretoria High Court ruled that ICASA’s licensing process is flawed and that Value Added Service Providers (VANs) such as Altech have the right to build their own networks.
