Please note: On 31 March 2025, ICASA issued a media statement among other things noting that they: 1) mark the second phase of the implementation process, the first having been the development of a regulatory framework for the use of television white spaces, which came into effect on 1 April 2021, and 2) are expected to ‘promote the emergence of new digital radio technologies, services and applications’.
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa has gazetted draft regulations on dynamic spectrum access and opportunistic spectrum management in the innovation spectrum frequency ranges 3800-4200 MHz and 5925-6425 MHz – calling for public comments. The deadline for input is 30 May 2025.
This follows the March 2024 publication of a findings document and position paper on the implementation of dynamic spectrum access and opportunistic spectrum management.
