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.

The acquisition of Business Connexion (BCX) by Telkom is still up in the air pending outstanding regulatory approvals.

Telkom has introduced a range of mobile voice bundles aimed at offering customers greater flexibility in managing their fluctuating business and personal voice usage demands without incurring the higher cost of out-of-bundle voice minute usage. Now, once customers have depleted their available voice allocation, they can purchase voice bundles at an in-bundle rate instead of having to go out-of-bundle at a higher rate. This flexibility allows customers to better manage their spending and offers more value for voice calling.
