Strong clear ADSL Regulations needed

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 9 June 2009

It is as clear as daylight that the current set of ADSL Regulations in South Africa are more designed to keep up appearances than actually make sure that all the relevant players play fair. South Africa needs ADSL Regulations that leave no room for vagueness and that are enforceable.

ICASA too weak to ensure fairness…

The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) has proven beyond reasonable doubt that it doesn’t have the balls to tackle the likes of Telkom when it comes to ensuring fairness in the ADSL market. Instead, it hides away behind weak ADSL Regulations and try to derail efforts for a better set of ADSL Regulations by making empty promises. This is something that needs to stop a.s.a.p. We simply cannot afford to have the likes of ICASA standing in the way of an ADSL regime earmarked by fairness for much longer. ICASA’s tactic of keeping us in the dark about the way forward where ADSL Regulations are of a concern also need to stop right away.
