Mobile Bereaucracy!

Trapped in the democratic bureaucracy- that’s the best word to define the state on MNP in the mobile industry in South Africa, early mid last month, when Mr. Paris Mashile made a presentation at the Mobility Conference, it emerged as if ICASA is ahead of the project, still ICASA was playing hard game. The regulator became aware of the whole MNP project in 2003, but there has never been an active engagement on their part, nor has there been any move to investigate the project. In recent days, Mr. Mashile made an argument that November 10 is the final of the final deadline. But the question to be asked is, has enough time been given to mobile operators? The answer is Yes and No. There is far too much bureaucracy in ICASA than anywhere else. Let’s get our thoughts together, technology doesn’t appreciate that, the ease with which these technologies are moving is too much!
