Broadband progress from the DoC
The Department of Communications (DoC) completed its “broadband policy, strategy and plan”, and has sent it to cabinet.
DoC spokesperson Siyabulela Qoza said that cabinet meets tomorrow, and that the broadband document will most likely be available on Thursday during the post cabinet briefing.
Communications minister Yunus Carrim previously said that the DoC will present their revised information and communication technology (ICT) policies to Cabinet on 4 December 2013.
“As government we’ve said that our policies, legislation and regulations are lagging behind developments in [ICT] over the past 15 years,” Carrim said. “We’ve said we’re going to do something about this. Well, we are!”
