The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA)<\/a> recently published the license compliance reports of SA\u2019s telecommunications operators which showed the connectivity failure rate reported by the companies.<\/p>\n

In its submissions to ICASA, Vodacom<\/a> and MTN<\/a> explained that they looked at the call set-up success and dropped call rates to determine their connectivity failure rates.<\/p>\n

Amongst other things, ICASA requires that an operator\u2019s connectivity failure rate be no greater than 3% to comply with its end user service subscriber charter.<\/p>\n

The five operators listed below all complied with this requirement and ICASA said during a media briefing on Monday (16 April 2012) that no license compliance matters were referred to its Complaints and Compliance Committee.<\/p>\n

The table below shows the connectivity failure statistics of Telkom<\/a> (8ta<\/a>), Neotel<\/a>, Vodacom, MTN, and Cell C<\/a>:<\/p>\n
