ICASA's statement confirms the multiple delays (although does not mention the suspended fines for missing the December 2005 deadline), and gushes about consumer choice, improved quality of service, and lower prices.
Hidden nugget
Number Portability in practiceSo there is already involvement of the fixed-line operators. The eventual portability of non-mobile numbers was pretty much a given, but it's nice that ICASA has spelled it out.
We remind all that number portability will also apply to fixed line operators currently Telkom and the SNO and that processes are at an advanced stage to see that through later. Of course their co-operation with regard to mobile number portability is also required, e.g. for call termination on their networks where the number is ported or is in that process.
