ICASA EXTENDS FREQUENCY PLAN DEADLINE

The requests to extend the deadline were made by numerous industry stakeholders after it was felt that the initial period of 30 days, within which submissions had to be made, were not sufficient. The majority of stakeholders requested a further 30 days, to 30 September 2003, in order for meaningful submissions to be made. Although the ICASA extension is not for the full 30 days as requested, it will at least allow more time for industry stakeholders to carefully peruse the Draft Terrestrial Broadcast Frequency Plan, 2003.
