The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) issues an enquiry into the existence of licensees that are not traceable and/or active, following a number of futile attempts by ICASA to trace the activities of these licensees and non-compliance to licence terms and conditions.
The licensees in question are listed below:
-
In 2009 Sundial Telecom (PTY) Ltd was granted both an Electronic Communications Network Service Licence and an Electronic Communications Service Licence by ICASA. The licensee provided ICASA with the following operating address: 4th Floor, Commerce House, 55 Shortmarket Street, Cape Town. Despite notices sent electronically to the nick@sundialtelecom.co.za, and business telephone number (021) 686 4535, no response was received by the Complaints and Compliance Committee (CCC) Office.
Inspection report - The inspectors could not make contact with the Licensee as the Licensee was not at the physical address furnished in the Licence. It was reported that the business has moved. A second physical address was found and visited namely 217 Sovereign Quay, Green Point, Cape Town but no such business exists. All contact details on the licence do not exist.
-
In 2008 Karel Greef was granted a Class Electronic Communications Services Licence by ICASA. The licensee provided ICASA with the following operating address: 10 Quartz Avenue Dersley Springs, 1559.
