The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) has gazetted a questionnaire on the assignment of high-demand radio frequency spectrum – to be completed and submitted by 30 November 2026. This is with the aim of developing an ‘information memorandum’ following the recent withdrawal of policy provisions for wireless open access network-related band reservation.
As SA Legal Academy has already reported, on 25 September 2026 the Department of Communications & Digital Technologies gazetted a notice nullifying those provisions – thus resuming a reform process begun in 2022.
