MTN has joined growing calls against Telkom’s urgent application to interdict ICASA’s auctioning of the spectrum. Telkom plans to stop the process because it says that it’s not happy with the way ICASA is handling it.

In a media statement, MTN has entered the fray with caution by pointing out that there cannot be a repeat of last year when the entire process was delayed by another year. The company says spectrum is the lifeblood of the telecommunications industry.

regretted that she intended to engage with Telkom and ICASA to try and reach an out-of-court settlement. “Further delays to the spectrum auctioning are not in the interest of SA or nation need for economic recovery. While the current ITA is not perfect, we believe the regulator has tried to strike a balance for all players. Right now we need industry collaboration with all role players in the best of South Africa.”Telkom approaches court to stop spectrum auction

Operators have waited more than 15 years for ICASA to release spectrum licences that are needed to lower data costs and add network capacity as data demand has surged and smartphone adoption continues to grow.
