ICASA has extended its current call termination glide path for 12 months while it performs a new cost study.<\/p>\n
Vodacom and MTN will continue to charge R0.13 for calls from other networks to connect to their subscribers, while Cell C and Telkom may charge R0.19.<\/p>\n
“Competition in the relevant markets still remain ineffective. The pro-competitive conditions imposed on licensees in 2014 are still relevant,” said ICASA.<\/p>\n
ICASA received requests to extend the validity period due to concerns over how long it would take to conduct a cost study to determine new termination rates.<\/p>\n
The current call termination glide path was set to\u00a0end on 30 September 2017<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n ICASA will publish a briefing note by 30 September outlining the “consultative approach and timeliness to determine new termination rates”.<\/p>\n ICASA has extended its current call termination glide path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":143190,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[18090],"class_list":["post-230299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-telecoms","tag-independent-communications-authority-of-south-africa-icasa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230299"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230299"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230299\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":230303,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230299\/revisions\/230303"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Now read:\u00a0How ICASA proposes the MultiChoice DStv “monopoly” should be broken<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
