ISPA also highlighted the deadlines set out in the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies’ Next Generation Radio Frequency Spectrum Policy.
The Internet Service Providers’ Association has raised concerns about a lack of clarity in South Africa’s Next Generation Radio Frequency Spectrum Policy regarding how small, medium, and micro enterprises can access high-demand spectrum.
“Therefore, the policy needs to make the fastest possible transition into law. Efficient allocation and assignment of scarce spectrum will help fuel South Africa’s expected economic rebound.” ISPA said finding mechanisms for emerging players to access the high-demand spectrum presents a challenge regarding the policy’s implementation.
“Perhaps most importantly, the Policy expresses support for the allocation of further spectrum for Wi-Fi networks and requires that the Minister from time to time considers incentives to stimulate investment in Wi-Fi network deployments for lower-income areas.”
