R 385
Electronic Communications Act, 2005 (Act No. 36 of 2005)RegulationsNumbering Plan Amendment Regulations, 2020Reasons Document4. Allocating and reserving numbers |
| 4.1 | Several respondents raised objections to the revised utilisation percentage from 60% to 80% for both mobile and machine related numbers. The respondents did not provide reasons as to how they will be jeopardised by the revised percentage. |
| 4.2 | The Authority would like to reiterate that the revision was due to the following considerations: |
| 4.2.1 | Allocations for mobile and machine related numbers are made on a larger scale (i.e. they are made in million and/or hundreds of thousands). |
| 4.2.2 | The quantity of the allocations did not reflect the differentiation in respect of other numbers such as geographic and non-geographic individual numbers. |
| 4.2.3 | The processing of applications although regulated within 20 days, our experience is that approvals have been made far much earlier than that unless the application is incomplete or further information is requested from the applicant. |
