The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) expects the first report back on progress regarding mobile termination rates on 9 October 2009.
Earlier in the week, ICASA met with representatives of Vodacom, MTN, Cell C, Neotel, Telkom and the Internet Services Providers Association (ISPA). At this meeting it was agreed that industry would review its position on termination rates.
Today, ICASA met again with industry representatives where it was agreed that the focus for any negotiations would be the mobile termination rate. The mobile termination rate is the fee that one network charges another for terminating or completing calls on its network.
