ICASA draft regulations on 112 emergency centres
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) has published draft regulations on access to 112 Emergency Centres. In September 2007, the Minister of Communications issued policy directions in which ICASA was directed to prescribe a list of emergency numbers to which the public would have continued access, even during a period of disconnection.
Further, the Electronic Communications Act states that amongst others, the licensees required to carry communications to 112 Emergency Centres may not charge the caller for placing a call to the Emergency Centre and that the cost of carrying communications to and from the Emergency Centre must be borne by the licensee.
The Act further states that as far as possible, the 112 Emergency Centres must have voice, SMS, data and global positioning systems capability.
Copies of the draft regulations are available on the Authority's website, www.icasa.org.za or ICASA library during working hours.
Interested parties are invited to submit written comments by no later than 16h30 on or before 23 November 2007 for the attention of:
