Submission on the Preliminary Findings and Recommendations of the Data Services Market Inquiry

Power Singh Inc. assisted Media Monitoring Africa in preparing a submission to the Competition Commission on the Preliminary Findings and Recommendations of the Data Services Market Inquiry. The submission focused on the relevant public interest considerations that should be taken into account, as well as the role of access to the internet in the realisation of other fundamental rights. The submission also dealt with the need for regulatory certainty and cohesion and the need to address the shortcomings in spectrum allocation. In this regard, the submission concluded with specific proposals to achieve better coordination amongst relevant stakeholders. The submission is accessible (via Media Monitoring Africa) here.
