South Africa's broadband plans in disarray

Withholding ICASA’s quarterly funding, withdrawing the draft ECA Amendment Bill and negating on the promise to publish a revised communications policy by 30 April are turning plans for South Africa’s broadband and communications for all in disarray.

After ICASA told South Africa on Tuesday (29 April) that it would take the Minister of Communications to the High Court in Pretoria to compel the Department of Communications to transfer the funds that ICASA is entitled to, the Department released the funds.

If only we had mybb.co.za to actually do something about it..
 
Cannot wait to see the “promised” impact from additional spectrum. It didn’t do much in the past when additional spectrum was allocated.
 
Imagine the rest of the country.

How we managed to get to where we are currently, is a miracle.
 
Minister of Communication = hot air generator. She thinks far too much of herself; barely on the job for 6 months and already exceeding her mandate. And then spews fashionable words such as "holistic forward-looking approach instead of ad-hoc amendments to the existing legislation" to make herself look more intelligent.

You honestly think she has the brain power to come up with that sort of language on her own? You give her too much credit.

What do people expect to happen when you have a cabinet filled with the top echelon of Dunning-Kruger sufferers?

You can't run a country with people who only know how to struggle
