Comment invited on annual contributions to Universal Service and Access Fund draft regulations

18 Sep 2007

The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) is inviting the public and stakeholders to comment on the draft regulations with respect to the prescribed annual contributions of all licensees to the Universal Service and Access Fund.

The draft regulations constitute a review of earlier regulations that were published in 2003 in terms of the repealed Telecommunications Act of 1996. They also seek to provide for the contribution by broadcasters to the fund in terms of section 89 of the ECA.

When finalised, the regulations will prescribe the annual contributions to the Universal Service and Access Fund by the holders of licensees issued in terms of Chapter 3 of the Electronic Communications Act, and further specify the date when such contributions become payable and the manner in which they may be paid.

Interested parties are requested to make written submission to the Authority by 4pm on Monday, 29 October 2007.

Sumbmissions (by courier or hand delivery) should be directed to:

Mamedupe Kgatshe
Block D Pinmill Farm
164 Katherine Street
Sandton
2146

Alternatively, they may be faxed to +27 (0)11 556 3246 or posted to:
