CategoriesPartnersSpecial sectionsLifestyleArchives | Freeing the air wavesThe Electronic Communications Act came into being this year. It is very difficult for me to understand the logic behind a clause in the ACT which give new applicants the RIGHT to go on air should they not get any response from the Authority within 30 days. ICASA issued ITA this year for new community radio project. It is very difficult for me to understand the logic behind a clause in the ACT which give new applicants the RIGHT to go on air should they not get any response from the Authority within 30 days. When the stations were licensed in 1995, there were over a 100 of them. What will happen should ICASA receive say 100 applications? Will they conduct hearings to all these stations? What will happen should ICASA not respond to these Stations within 30 days? I hope they won't be seen to be "UNLICENSED" by the Authority. Is the Authority trying to democratise the air waves like it is in developed countries?
