Ivy's budget speech

[Highflyer_GP]

Interesting.

Dr. T Marwala was appointed in charge of LLU right? Will try and have a word with him soon and hopefully extract some info...

Is Ivy the Director of Icasa - in her specch she directed Icasa to to this and to do that......Is this correct and if it is, then they should remove the I in Icasa, not so?

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. wtf is happening here? ICASA shouldn't have to be told what to prioritise, they should already be on the ball! Where's the independence?

So we are seeing the "new ICASA",.. DCASA (underwritten by Poison Ivy Inc).
Dominic makes a valid point though.

spheres in the politics of telecoms-

1. policy-maker (MoC, DoC, parliament)
2. policy-implementer (ICASA)
3. operators (Telkom, Vodacom, Verizon, MTN etc)
(4. courts)
(5. constitution)

It is partly the Minister's job to "give policy direction" to ICASA.
