The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) will release the Draft Call Termination Regulations on Friday, 4 October 2013 to outline the Authority’s position on both revised termination rates as well as potential levels of asymmetry being made available to smaller players.
These Draft Regulations are an outcome of the review of the 2010 Call Termination Regulations and form part of the Cost to Communicate Programme which is aimed at reducing the high cost of communication in South Africa.
The Authority recognises the importance of providing surety to all stakeholders on the future of termination rates in South Africa, where the Authority has previously issued its views that the cost of termination on a mobile network may be as low as R0.15.
