- Communications & Digital Technologies
- SA Legal Academy
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa has gazetted two sets of regulatory proposals for public comment by 11 August 2025:
draft digital terrestrial TV regulations, and
draft amendments to the numbering plan regulations.
In the context of providing digital terrestrial TV services in South Africa, the draft regulations seek to:
- allocate radio frequency spectrum assignment plan capacity to the 470 to 694MHz frequency band, comprising of seven multiplexes
- ‘prescribe the conditions applicable to the allocation of capacity in a multiplex’
- ‘prescribe the procedure for the submission of applications for digital television channel authorisation on multiplexes’, and
- prescribe the procedure for licensing a multiplex operator to provide the necessary signal distribution.
Proposed amendments to the numbering plan regulations follow a consultation process begun in September 2023. Informed by the input received, they comprise a revised version of the draft amendments first released for public comment.
