ICASA's Chairperson Media Statement

The Chairman of ICASA has on 08 February 2012 issued a media statement setting out the regulatory certainty with regards to:

1.   The Ministerial Directive on Licensing of Combined
       800MHz and 2.6 GHz
2.   ICASA’s Review of the Broadcasting Regulatory Framework
3.   Radio Spectrum Fees Regulations
4.   Collection of Licence Fees
5.   Call Termination Regulations
6.   ICASA Confiscates Illegal Communications Equipment 

Of particular concern for the NAB, is the status of the ICASA’s review of the broadcasting regulatory framework, in the wake of the media statement issued by the Minister of Communications, Minister Dina Pule on 24 January 2012. To this end, the NAB issued a letter of concern to ICASA, alerting the Authority to the potential conflict that might arise should the two processes run side by side.
