Telkom withdraws part of its spectrum court challenge

The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) has announced that Telkom has withdrawn part of its court application against it.

"Following the recent media reports about Telkom launching a court application in respect of the Invitation To Apply (ITA) for high demand spectrum or International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) spectrum as well as the ITA for the Wireless Open Access Network (WOAN), the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) hereby informs all stakeholders that Telkom has decided to withdraw Part A of the court application," the authority said in a statement.
