temporarily withdraws the invitation to apply for mobile television
broadcasting services
24 February 2009
Johannesburg: The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (the
Authority) hereby informs all the interested parties that it has decided to
temporarily withdraw an invitation to apply (ITA) calling for entities that
were licensed to provide Individual Electronic Communications Services,
Broadcasting Services and Electronic Communications Network Services to apply
for frequencies to provide mobile digital video broadcasting services. The
closing date for the responses had been set for 27 February 2009.
The Authority has decided that it would be in the interest of the
communications industry at large to first finalise the Digital Migration Policy
and Frequency Band Plan before licensing any mobile digital video broadcasting
services.
The Authority will in the future communicate any further developments on
this matter.
All media enquiries should be forwarded to:
