Coordination of Public and Private Sector Players Private Sector Engagement The Department requested private sector players to submit their broadband plans Private Sector player further highlighted the challenges they are facing with rollout: The limited availability of spectrum High cost of site acquisition and leases Misalignment of municipal policies and regulations and long lead times for permit approvals Theft, vandalism The DTPS is conducting a market structure and open access study to determine how public and private sector players could benefit from infrastructure sharing principles DPTS will have further engagements with the private sector to encourage investment in under-served areas Public Sector Engagement An multi-stakeholder steering committee and task teams have been established to drive the development of the implementation plan. DTPS is engaging SOC/Es on broadband issues DTPS also engaged with provinces to understand their plans and delivery models. Our main findings are that: Telkom has an extensive fibre network that reaches all provinces BBI’s is working with USAASA and Provincial Governments to develop plans Except for Gauteng and the Western Cape, broadband plans in other provinces are not funded Making South Africa a Global Leader in Harnessing ICTs for Socio-economic Development

Conclusion and Way Forward The primary role of the DTPS is to achieve a greater state of coordination amongst stakeholders in the broadband value chain Coordination will address overlapping mandates and avoid duplication by SOEs and private sector The DTPS is working with SOCs to harness their potential for broadband delivery and to align their plans to SA Connect The DTPS will engage further with the private sector to establish how it can play role in delivering services in under-service areas Detailed Planning for projects under the four pillars of SA Connect is underway to assist with the finalise of the implementation plans DTPS in collaboration with relevant national department, province and relevant district municipalities to coordinate, plan and implement 1st Phase of broadband rollout. In collaboration with provinces, DTPS to finalise the 2nd Phase comprehensive planning by July 2015 Making South Africa a Global Leader in Harnessing ICTs for Socio-economic Development
