Telkom challenges Neotel-Vodacom decision
Telkom has filed an application at the North Gauteng High Court to set aside Icasa’s (Independent Communications Authority of South Africa’s) decision of 2 July that has given the regulatory go-ahead for the transfer of Neotel licenses to Vodacom. Telkom has approached the court on a semi-urgent basis for an interim order to suspend the implementation of the Icasa decision, pending the resolution of the final review, as it is believes that the regulator has not adequately considered certain considerations when granting regulatory approval for the transaction.
