E-communications bill DELAYED

On a restricted legal site posted a few minutes ago, this is all I can find, couldnt see anything on the Financial Mail webby either.

The Electronic Communications Bill, proposed new legislation that will transform SA's telecommunications industry, should be signed into law before the end of April, a month later than originally expected, says a report in the Financial Mail.

Hey, Thabo already signed the New Credit Bill into law this month, he probably has writer's cramp...

:D
 
Maybe the doc got stolen...

This is really BS...and where's Ivy's statement she was supposed to give that was promised a few weeks back?
 
Does not look good for us now does it. What is now wangled behind the scenes?
 
I thought the president had like 14 days to sign it... then no matter if he signed it or not, it became law.
 
The department's director-general Lyndall Shope-Mafole says the minister will announce the policy changes as soon as the Electronic Communications Bill has been signed into law.

Does this mean the minister's announcement will only come about in May due to the public holidays we're going to have in April?

I wonder which country our vice-president will visit at tax-payers expense for Easter .. :rolleyes: JK
 
Ivy must be gone on her yearly sleep..oops, leave. My worry is that winter is comming and dont the animals in the artic, those fat white ones, oh'! bears sleep through the winter? then that means we will have the new legislation by August 2006 earliest??? just as soon as the SNO comes to the party. In the meantime Icassa , SNO, TELKOM, ISPA, THE DOC, and the GVT, maybe even cosatu is working around the clock on a deal to see what crumbs can be offered to the consumer to make them believe thay have world class services or at least progressing towards it over the next 5 years! Then when Ivy return from her sleep she will have to eat herself fat again to get some energy back to think again and then she will anounce her dicission! if? she did not forget in the mean time during the lull what its all about! as then another new round of talks would have to start! So we will all be raped to the next milestone 2012!
Sorry if this is synicall, can anyone blame me?
 
The delay means that plans by communications minister Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri to announce a dramatic liberalisation of the sector - initially expected before the end of March - have been put on ice for now.

Hey, didn't Roy Padayachie promise us that she'd do this in "2-3 weeks?"

Maybe we have to wait another 6-8 weeks? :D

/sarcasm off
 
an umitigated fsckup of epic proportions with real implications for millions, couched in incoherent logic and obviously a cover for non-transparent lobbying

" dramatic liberalisation " - give me a break
 
Same old crap, nothing has changed and nothing will.
I've become a pessimist when it comes to SA until I'm given reason to think differently. Fruitless promises from the Gov, Telkom and anybody else that profits from SA's economy. "Sad" I say, "Sad"!
 
Oh stop whining like a bunch of telkom technicians looking for a pay raise. Poison Ivy will sign it as soon as they wake her up enough to look alive and after they wiped of the drool. Otherwise she may spoil the document. That's the real reason it's late. She drooled on the first copy...
 
Thabo must have dribbled on it - because it was lying on his desk - not Poison Ivy's!? :rolleyes:
