The Electronic Communications Act, 2005 (ECA) took effect on 19 July 2006. It repealed the Telecommunications Act, 1996 and the Independent Broadcasting Authority Act, 1993. The ECA was enacted because the line between telecommunication and broadcasting technologies was becoming increasingly blurred, or “converged”.
The ECA regulates both telecommunications and broadcasting, with the object of facilitating the convergence of telecommunication, broadcasting and IT services. The ECA also aims to promote competition in the ICT sector. Moreover, the ECA sets out to promote the empowerment of historically disadvantaged people in this sector and to ensure that electronic communications (EC) services and broadcasting services are provided by and to persons from a diverse range of communities.
