ICASA's capacity questioned

Parliament's portfolio committee on communications on Wednesday questioned the role of the Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa) and its ability as a regulator.
 
At least ICASA's capacity to be incompetent has been proven again and again...
 
We've been saying for years that ICASA are useless, and now suddenly the government comes to the party?
 
Government should have had somebody on this forum, would have saved them a couple of years in realizing that ICASA is useless (and why).

Whatever you think about ICASA; my concern is that they are supposed to be independent of the government, and not the puppet on strings for the Ministry of Comms :(
 
Who is this idiot who talk crap about the most productive, independent, cutting edge regulator in the modern world ever!:D:D:D:D
 
I don't have a std 7 (whats that anyways) but does that mean I am an Independent Communications Authority of SA
 
local loop unbundling
spectrum
geographic number portability
pro-competitive pricing
carrier pre-select
etc etc

...it all depends on ICASA and the portfolio committee has been whining about how they don't have the capacity for years now. Okay so its true but what is being done about it.

fact: unless the regulator is sorted out properly none of the above critical pro-competitive interventions will take place and we will all be poorer off for it

so stop with the blahblah and do something with the weak regulator that you created because politically it suited you to have a poodle rather than a rottweiler
 
Yeah.. just like the scorpions we can ditch Icasa and put in a group of idiots that are better at being incompetent.
 
As I keep asking myself, why does Paris Mashile still have a job?
 
ICASA is one of the ANC's most epic disasters.

They would have accomplished more if they had appointed the grade 2 class at Bokkiesfontein Primary School.

ICASA had the same benefit to the South African Public as if we had dug a ten meter hole in the ground and emptied 100 million rand into it and poured 100 liters of jet fuel over it and then set it alight.

Actually, not really... at least the fire would have kept us warm for a while.
