The Department of Communications has extended, by a month, the period of public comment for the recently published National Integrated Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Policy Green Paper and has set a date for the public hearings.

Interested stakeholders now have until March 24 to provide input on the 102-page, 12-chapter Green Paper, which was gazetted on January 24, with national public hearings set to start on March 4, followed by provincial public hearings.

The paper aimed to revamp South Africa’s current misaligned national ICT policies and deals with the need to amend and integrate policies and regulations to take account of the rapid changes in ICT in recent years.

The last major review of the ICT sector took place in the 1990s, with separate White Papers developed on telecommunications, broadcasting and postal services.
