Convergence Bill:Convergence Bill:Move from vertical licensing: – To date, Telkom could do everything and
a consumer received chain of services, infrastructure and devices from them.
To horizontal licensing:–Will be tiers of licences that are “tech
neutral” and open for competitors.– But: radio spectrum use is not neutral.
![Page 21: New media, Africa and 2020 …](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56813a8b550346895da286ba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Policy problems:Policy problems: Infrastructure is one thing; Applications is another;– Eg. signal distribution, ISP, ecommerce;
Digital content is something else.
Apps can be tech neutral – go on diff infrastructure Content can ride on various apps & infrastructure
But historically, providers of content via airwaves (unlike newspapers) have conditions: local content, watershed periods, electoral obligations
![Page 22: New media, Africa and 2020 …](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56813a8b550346895da286ba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Under new law?: Under new law?: Suppose SABC is licensed as content
provider (via airwaves) …Does not need license for its website.But what when the same website
content travels on wireless?Licensing of websites???Is diffs between broadcast push &
internet pull significant? (even wrt webcasting?)
![Page 23: New media, Africa and 2020 …](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56813a8b550346895da286ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What impact for future? What impact for future? Or: will all content producers need
licenses? Even newspapers with sites, or stand-alone sites, or bloggers? And not just audio-visual, but text content producers?
Or will those other than “spectrum-hogs” be exempted as a class?
Point: content licenses should not be relevant to channel (i.e. airwaves, but how this vehicle is used) = not tech neutral!
…. Until digital broadcasting comes along.
