Abstract: 
The telecoms regulator has begun issuing new licences that will permit operators to build their own networks, just a week after a court victory clarified the law and opened the sector up to hugely increased competition.

The Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa) will hand out two types of licences to replace those that became defunct when the Electronic Communications Act was promulgated.

The most valuable version should ultimately be issued to about 300 internet service providers and other voice and data carriers, thanks to a court case instigated by Altech.
