South Africa approves temporary Mobile TV licence
Thursday, November 5th, 2009
After the Cabinet meeting on November 4, 2009, the South African government issued a statement which said:
“The proposal to issue a temporary Mobile Television Broadcasting Licence was approved. This decision is in line with South Africa’s commitment to provide Mobile Television Broadcasting during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The licence will expire two weeks after the World Cup Finals. The issuing of a temporary licence will allow the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) the time and space to design a licensing process that will encourage greater competition in the sector.”
The allocation of the contract has not yet been decided.
