BRIEFING TO THE PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND POSTAL SERVICES PROGRESS ON ICT POLICY REVIEW PROJECT

›Separate frameworks have guided the sector since The White Papers on Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Postal sectors and the Green Paper on e-commerce, have underpinned the policy and legislative developments since democracy. ›Much has changed in recent years, especially in the ICT sector due to the rapid expansion and fast-paced developments in technology, and the emergence of new media as a result of the Internet. ›Changing ICT environment: ›Technology convergence is of particular interest to policy makers and regulators as it changes the nature of services, allowing an operator who was licensed under one category to be able to do things that would have required different category licences in the past; ›Convergence of Internet and Media; and ›Convergence in Policy and Regulation. 2

BACKGROUND  The ICT Policy Review process was launched in April  Aim: to develop a White Paper on ICT Policy for South Africa.  Minister appointed 22 experts that would serve on the ICT Policy Review Panel.  The scope of the Panel work includes, but is not limited to, making recommendations on the appropriate ICT policy and regulatory framework that supports the growth and development of the sector.  The Panel will also make proposals to the Minister with respect to institutional mechanisms for delivering universal access and universal service policy goals. Additionally, the Panel is tasked with making recommendations regarding the development and maintenance of diverse, innovative, efficient and effective ICT market that operates within a competitive environment and in the best interest of the South African public.  The inaugural meeting of the Review Panel was held in January 2013.

BACKGROUND Cont….  Some Panel members requested to be released from the project due to other pressing commitments.  The current Minister then appointed five new members to serve in the Panel, in replacement of members who left.  The Project Management Office was established to support the Panel  Five Committees were set up to drive the work of the ICT Policy Review process  Such Committees focused the following key areas: Telecommunications, Broadcasting, Postal, Investment and Infrastructure and e-Services and Cybersecurity  Research was conducted on these key areas to support the policy development process and facilitate evidence-based policy making process.  Post the Green Paper gazette, the Committees were restructured to reflect the ICT sector in a converged environment, from the traditional separation of subsectors.

 The NDP highlights the need to develop specialised institutional capacity to ensure that policy keeps up with the evolution of the sector and that regulation is effective.  The roles and responsibilities of different players are defined in current policy and legislation and are intertwined, requiring the different institutions to act in collaboration to achieve specific policy objectives outlined in the various legislation governing the sector.  A review of the institutional roles and responsibilities of the different players involved in policy and regulatory settings indicate a lack of common purpose and interaction to the degree required to drive policy. The lack of interaction is at times mechanical. The question now is how all institutions dealing with public policy can better cooperate to deliver on the key policy and legislative mandates.  There is a need to strengthen policy, regulatory and market oversight (Legislature, the Executive, Regulator).
