Icasa's mass exodus

[AdLo]

The reports allege:
- that there is a lack of leadership at Icasa;
- that councillors are exerting pressure on management during tender processes and forcing certain consultants on departments;
- that travel policies are continually flouted by officials;
- that overseas travel of no benefit to the authority is taking place;
- that certain councillors have intimidated, victimised and terrorised staff; and
- that councillors have intervened on behalf of staff with whom they have friendly relationships to protect them from disciplinary action by their supervisors.

.. and so are the days of South Africa's telecoms sector.

“At times people share information with operators before the decision is even made, which allows them to devise strategies to deviate Icasa’s attention from such issues through legal cases, among other things.”

Does this refer to skommelTel, we all know that skommelTel are paying
bribes to so-called "independant" councilors. There is no such thing as
independance. If the councilor is independant from the ANC he will be bribed
by skommelTel and others. Thabo Mbeki want's to throw open communications in this country but he needs direct control over Icasa to
make this happen. Imagine if somebody with the intellect and Mbeki could
directly take control of Icasa and force through changes - now his hands
are tied.

Who for example was the genius who inserted the non-profit clause on p.15
of the ECA - who bribed whom? The non-profit clause is unconstitutional. Says who? Says me and the bribed official who differs from my view as I resell
commercial satellite data with a big board that states so outside my
property can go lay a charge at the commercial crimes division.
And then we will find out what John Welch will do about it.

Isps, Vans license holders and SkommelTel your pathetic attemps at forbidding the public from openly reselling commercial data services won't ever get past John Welch!

@captainwifi - No offence - but do you ever NOT rant? I have no idea what you're trying to say.

habari did you miss the quote? It says that officials who were bribed are
giving away Icasa's secret strategies to "operators". The word is used
in the plural and thus we could read it as meaning Vans license holders
and certain skommelTel firms.

What on earth is going on at Icasa? Icasa was at the cusp of forcing Telkom
to lower it's ADSL prices when Telkom shot back that it will then suspend it's
ADSL services. We have a never ending farce where nobody knows what is
the SAT3 bandwidth and thus we can't make informed deductions.

And who gave a couple of palooka ISPs hopping around on a pogostick
infront of Spar the right to collude with the regulator and skommelTel to
forbid me from excercising my constitutional right of being economically
active in the Telecoms sector?
