Icasa to issue information memo on spectrum licensing process by year-end
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) says it will publish an information memorandum on the licensing process for high-demand spectrum before December 31.
The memorandum will outline the authority’s approach to the licensing of spectrum, following the publication of the Policy on High Demand Spectrum and the Policy Direction on the Licensing of a Wireless Open Access Network by Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams.
The memorandum is also intended to provide guidance for stakeholders and prospective applicants on the process and criteria to be applied by the authority in the licensing of the spectrum.
“Through the publication of the information memorandum, the authority further provides an opportunity to stakeholders and prospective applicants alike to make inputs and representations on the proposed licensing process, associated criteria and timelines”, says Icasa acting chairperson Dr Keabetswe Modimoeng.
“The licensing of high-demand spectrum is one of the critical components to facilitate deployment of digital infrastructure to ensure that all South Africans realise and participate meaningfully in the opportunities emanating from the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
