Telkom Pleased with the Proceedings of the Spectrum Auction Case

The Acting Judge President heading the Spectrum Auction has confirmed that Part B of Telkom’s application to review ICASA’s decision to publish the Invitation to Apply (ITA) for spectrum has been set down for hearing in the week of 11 – 14 April 2022.

Telkom is pleased with the cooperation from the parties in reaching agreement on expediting the court process to finalise the hearing of the merits of Telkom’s arguments against the ITA and the process leading up to it being issued.

Telkom has always reserved its rights to reinstate Part A of its application should this become necessary at any point.

Statement by Telkom

As indicated by parties at the meeting with the Acting Judge President, the regulator, a respondent in this application, would now be expected to carefully consider the prudence of proceeding with the auction, mindful that the outcome of the hearing of Part B of Telkom’s application may have a material impact on the process and outcomes of the auction.
