Pretoria – The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA/the Authority) is conducting a virtual workshop on the Information Memorandum (IM) for the licensing of the International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) Spectrum, published on 1 October 2021.
This workshop marks the first step in implementing the truncated timetable and roadmap issued by the Authority for the expedited licensing of the IMT spectrum, also known as high-demand spectrum. This workshop on the IM demonstrates the ongoing commitment by the Authority to ensure continued consultations with stakeholders as ICASA gears itself towards amending the Invitation To Apply (ITA) for licensing of the radio frequency bands identified for IMT, in order to ensure the provisioning of much-needed broadband wireless access services.
The workshop aims to solidify the Authority’s engagement with all the stakeholders through various stages of this licensing process with a common understanding of the process to be followed.
The virtual workshop shall be held as follows:
Date : 15 October 2021
Venue : MS Teams
Time : 13:00 to 17:30
