Johannesburg – Telkom is seeking an urgent court order to prevent telecoms regulator Icasa holding a spectrum auction in March, which would further delay the country’s rollout of 5G and expansion of 4G capacity already held back by legal action. Operators have waited more than 15 years for Icasa to release spectrum licences that are needed to lower data costs and add network capacity as data demand has surged and smartphone adoption continues to grow.
MTN, Vodacom in race to settle SA spectrum dispute On Wednesday, Telkom said it had filed an application asking the Gauteng High Court to review and set aside the invitation to apply, which outlines the auction rules, spectrum bands and licence obligations, published by Icasa last month. The application includes an urgent interdict to prevent Icasa from processing any applications until the review is heard, it said in a statement.

Nigeria has cheaper data than SA, Bots has cheaper petrol & yet their fuel comes frm SA🤷🏽♂️
