Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Communication will tomorrow and Wednesday hold 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:
Day one
Date: 13 October 2009
Venue: V454, 4th Floor, Old Assembly
Time: 09h00
Day two
Date: 14 October 2009
