3000% increase in license fees questioned, spectrum allocation a matter of urgency
There is one thing that Altech proved prior to its fall from grace [the MTN & CC issue], and that is that legal action can defeat the tyrannous scourge of Stalin-Mafole & Poison Ivy & Paris Mashile & other plants."ISPA is pleased with the progress that the South African telecoms regulatory and legislative landscape has made in the past few months, and our members are all ready to compete as soon as these last few issues are addressed," concluded Silber.

The point being that !CASA can try to impose outrageous licence fees in an attempt to delay progress and keep Mismanaged Telecoms Liberalisations alive, but !CASA will find itself dragged all the way to the Constitutional Court with questions raised about !CASA's leadership failing to fulfil !CASA's constitutionally enshrined mandate.
Erm, what? If they would just provide clear and concise regulations then there would not be a need for court cases.ICASA will need money for legal battles and it has to come from were ever they can get it
There should be a Mandamus Order against Paris Mashile and Poison Ivy - maybe it will speed their retirement, but ANC policy is clearly to keep Mismanaged Telecoms Liberalisation alive for as long as possible - there can be no other explanation for the hike in licence fees, so whoever the ANC chooses to replace Poison Ivy and Paris Mashile, will no doubt be just as braindead as their predecessors are - I would not be surprised if Julius Mampoer is chosen as the new MoC and would be in keeping with Poison Ivy's 'look like me' statements.ICASA will need money for legal battles and it has to come from were ever they can get it
