Super 5 gets another reprieve
6 Sep 2010
Pay-TV licensee Super 5 Media has been granted another extension by the Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa) to launch a service. Icasa spokesman Paseka Maleka says the regulator has granted the company another six months to get a service off the ground.
This is the second sign of life Icasa has received from a nearly defunct Super 5 Media. The first was a letter from the company assuring Icasa it was still in operation.
Maleka says the broadcaster is still hoping to receive an electronic communications network service (ECNS) licence before it brings a product to market.
Super 5 Media has long been fighting for an ECNS licence. It has argued that it would rather build its own broadcast network than rely on state-owned Sentech.
