Committee holds public hearings on interconnections rate

Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Communication will continue tomorrow with its public hearings on interconnection rates in the telecommunications sector.

The Committee decided to conduct the public hearings after it received a briefing last month from the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa), Competition Commission and the Department of Communications on interconnection rates, which it considered to be excessive and exorbitant.

The details of the hearings are as follows:

Date: 14 October 2009
Venue: V454, 4th Floor, Old Assembly
Time: 09h00
