ICASA promotes consumer rights

ICASA goes on consumer rights roadshow to promote affordable prices and access to information

 

[Tns]

this is a good joke to start a Friday with

 

[obs]

April the 1st is still way off (hovering pointer on time in right corner) !

why waste good money on road shows? rather put pressure on the telecoms to stop fixing prices, allow other players to coming in and give as must support to Seacom..otherwise its just a matter of raising people's hopes for nothing.

For goodness's sake dont let any dumb BEE processes interfere with Seacom, they seem to be very capable of bringing in change

/ end rant

/me breaths normally again

What a joke. Is this a press release from ICASA?

 

[plugger123]

wow.. I was thinking about a joking situation even before reading this thread.. so when I looked at it I just saw a lot people having the same thoughts.. WHAT A JOKE...

ICASA says that they will emphasize consumers’ rights to information, affordable prices, quality services, choice of representation and choice to redress.

- consumers’ rights to information - Fail.
- affordable prices - Fail.
- quality services - Fail.
- choice of representation - Fail.
- choice to redress - Fail.

So, they're doing a roadshow to tell everyone that they're failing.
Why?

 

[Vrotappel]

LOL! The only thing they protected is the ANC's stream of dividends from Telkom.

What fraking ever

If its the ICASA's intention to protect consumers then its an epic fail.

(I)ncredibly (C)orrupt (A)uthority of (S)outh (A)frica.

 

[The_Unbeliever]

What consumer protectionism?

Oh surely they meant consumer milking?

 

[snail]

bla bla bla.....when will the ICASA stop wasting their money on press releases, by paying someone to write a fantastic bulls$%t story, and paying someone to release it to the press, and actually do something about it. The ICASA are all talk no action, and nothing will ever change that, i just feel sorry for their spokesperson cuz they make him/her look like a real ass to the rest of the country, i wouldnt work for them even if they offered me a job!!!!!!!!!

Would liked to have attended one of these just for fun - but it is reported a bit late - perhaps an idea to report events before they happen so people can plan to attend - mind you doing it this way just suits the way things are and why nothing is going to change

 

[stoke]

Only the select few get to attend.

 

[reech]

So... let me get this straight -- they're 'promoting consumer rights' by not inviting consumers & consumer rights groups?

"... is attended amongst others by ICASA Councillors and Executive Management, the Licensees and various stakeholders." - ie not consumers?

So, a small tour in the Eastern Cape = a roadshow ? WTF ?
