I'd take Neotel more seriously when that "Still out doing the competition" ad from Telkom is removed from their premise.

I suppose since Neotel didn't sign any agreement with them they could just put up an even bigger one in bright red orange right in front of it. Telkom finally paying for something they can never use. :D

Yeah - at least they will get some of their own "rent an analogue line to have ADSL" stinking attitude.
 
with respect to the journalist that is, for the most part, a really awful article

The process of licence conversion has already taken Icasa longer than it had originally hoped, though it's still well within the deadlines set in the Act. But if in taking longer it manages to eliminate any potential legal challenges along the way then that should seemingly be better for the industry over the long term.

Key to avoiding such legal challenges is ensuring that Icasa has defined the various markets correctly before proceeding to impose any price caps or so-called "pro competitive conditions".

non-sequitur...competition exercise and market definitions have nothing to do with licence conversion i.e. it does not follow that if you define markets correctly etc that you will avoid legal challenges in the licence conversion process

According to a licence conversion matrix published by Icasa in a Government Gazette (number 30438, for anyone wanting to look it up) in November 2007, there are six Vans that qualified to take part in the ITA: Vox (formerly DataPro), Verizon South Africa, Dimension Data's Internet Solutions, M-Web, Global Web-intact and Fleetcall.

to the best of my knowledge this is simply not correct...the ITA process is being followed because ICASA is aware that it previous process (which resulted in the 6 licencees being identified) was flawed, i.e. we are starting the whole ecns conversion for VANS things again. the ITA will therefore be open to all VANS (the only question being whether it is open to those VANS that were granted licences after 19 July 2006)

While class licences are essentially localised, such as municipal networks or community broadcasters, individual licences are provincial or national in scope, operate commercially and require numbers from the national numbering range. Private telephone network licensees - which many large corporates use to operate their own inter-branch networks - will be exempt from requiring a licence provided they don't resell any spare capacity

muddled thinking as to how the new licence categories operate in evidence + according to the latest draft licence exempt private electronic communications networks may sell up to 25% of their spare capacity
