Icasa pleads for patience

The Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa) has rejected criticism that it is taking too long to open the industry to competition. The telecommunications regulator says it is moving as fast as it can to implement the Electronic Communications Act.

So, from what I read, Icasa agains seems to infer that industry is the problem and not them.

What a bunch of retards ! (Icasa, not Industry)
 
The incumbents, Socikwa says, are also keen on lengthy, legalistic licences while Icasa is trying to produce licences that are short, simple and written in plain English.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Oh like ... Local bandwidth may not count towards the cap?
Clear concise meaningful english like that?

I have ZERO faith in ICASA's ability to do that it claims it is trying to do.

How so true
 
ICASA bunch of babies

OH Boo Whoo Hoo ICASA.
Heavens sake show us ONE time where you actually passed a law that gives the consumer a break.
Various courtcases, Telkom vs the consumer. Consumer always lose with ICASA hammering in the nails in the coffin.
Bunch of scaredy cat Telkom manicans.
 
sat on your butts for a year doing nothing and then came up with a panic process which will fall over if someone sneezes in the direction of a court

it will end in tears
 
Have patience?
They could open up competition in 3 days if they truly tried

w_nkers
 
They can go take a running jump off the nearest cliff.

They're useless and incompetent, and we will not be patient with useless and incompetent fools anymore.
 
Whether we have sympathy for ICASA's or not, it's an interesting and very informative article from Mr McCleod.
 
Of course what they don't say is that their writings must please IV - and rolling over to Telkom on legal issues would always come back and bite them - Paris should never had left that happen, it would have been better to have taken it to court and then made an issue of the funding
 
Negotiations between Icasa and industry players have proved tough. Socikwa says companies too often use the threat of litigation to try to get their way. “This is not an industry that has a proclivity to negotiation and discussion. Instead, we receive threats of litigation.”

I seem to remember a year or so ago ICASA sticking out their chests and proclaiming that they would legislate and worry about litigation after the fact!
About turn, no balls or muscle, or just to complex?

On the contrary, a year or so ago, Paris Mashile was at pains to point out that they would avoid taking any action that might result in litigation, as they did not have sufficient resources.

either way a love letter for them was delivered to the High Court this morning.....
 
This may have sounded convincing in 2001ish...
I'm convinced there's nothing untoward, they just have a skills shortage at Icasa.
