What has ICASA actually done this past year. What I mean is, what has actually been implemented because of a ICASA ruling.

As far as I know nothing, so what is the point of having them. They release a ADSL Report, and then tell us that they cant regulate SAIX. WTF. Why do the report in the first place.

We should not be pressuring Telkom but ICASA instead. They are suppose to regulates these Telsum idiots.

If you know of anything that they have accomplished, please let me know.
 
Err.... they closed a radio station in 'oranje' .. and took someones Wifi kit in cape town.... do u actually want them to work?!!!? its not mandated in the ICASA act.. Employees are requited to get off their laurels.

oh I ammost forgot, they spent taxpayers money to determine whether setting up a comittee to investigate the probablily of a forum to discuss the viability of a competitive market for ADSL.
 
hmmm maybe setup a committee to investigate the posibilities about talking about it first, and wait for their findings. Thereafter we can discuss how to have talks on the matter at hand, publish the findings, and then wait to see what happens...

I am just thankfull that i DON"T get all the goverment that i pay for!
 
hehe, it's so true. When the Icasa report came out, I was like jumping up and down waiting for their ruling in anticipation. But NOTHING has happened as far as I have seen.

ADSL bandwidth prices increased.
 
Don't forget that several employees were actually repranded for mis-appropriating tax payers money. I think the exact offense was making paperjets with official letterheads or something...
 
Just heard that the CEO has been suspended. Probably the only thing that have done this year. Hopefully something good will come from this.

Where did you hear this? i can find nothing about it.

Edit :Doh never mind found it lol.
 
a reminder...

This serves as a reminder to us all that the situation we found ourselves in is for all intensive purposes.. hopeless. If the regulator is corrupt, then who can we possibility turn to?? sadly, our politicians consistently let us down.
