Internet Giants Must 'Pay to Play' in South Africa Amid Regulatory Changes
In a significant move, the telecoms industry body ACT has emphasized the necessity for Internet giants to 'pay to play' in South Africa. The call for a 'Fair Share' system aims to alleviate the burden on local telecom operators and ensure sufficient infrastructure investments. With lighter regulations, the goal is to create a more balanced ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders involved.
Furthermore, this shift in regulatory framework is not only about financial contributions but also about fostering a sustainable and equitable digital landscape in South Africa. As internet usage grows, the need for robust partnerships between tech giants and local operators becomes increasingly critical.
