MTN has filed papers to oppose Telkom’s urgent application to block South Africa’s spectrum auction from going ahead on 8 March 2022.

Radio frequency spectrum is the raw network capacity that cellular network operators use to communicate between mobile devices and their towers.to block the Independent Communication Authority of South Africa from going through with an auction of sought-after spectrum.

“We need to provide sustained data quality and speed but most importantly, continued reductions in the price of data. Spectrum is the key to this, and we need to collaborate now, with the regulator and all stakeholders, to unlock SA’s economic recovery,” Molapisi added. However, Telkom said that there are major problems with Icasa’s invitation to apply for the spectrum — chiefly that the regulator has not considered the competitive market implications of licensing the network capacity, and that important parts of the spectrum are still occupied by TV broadcaster E-tv.

“We cannot have a repeat of 2021, where the entire process was delayed for another full year, and that on the back of 14 years of no additional spectrum being added to the industry,” MTN stated.

Typical from SA biz collusion, cartels, mob mentality and anti competition in it for themselves. same mentality, frm taxi biz to these big companies. Will the South African citizen suffers. Nigeria has cheaper data than SA, Bots has cheaper petrol & yet their fuel comes frm SA🤷🏽‍♂️
