SA's 7mhz band extension moves closer

During the past week, the major role-players at South African regulator ICASA, attended the CRASA meeting in Zambia.

CRASA is the Communications Regulators' Association of Southern Africa, a liaison body dealing with radio and other communication regulations across the SADC region.

In a telephone discussion ICASA told the South African Radio League (SARL) that the matter of the extension to the 7 MHz band has been given priority and that the regulator's legal council is reviewing the draft regulation.

On Monday we will know whether the draft changes to the regulation will be tabled at the weekly Council meeting on Tuesday.

Any new information will be communicated on the SARL web pages.
