Telecommunications and Broadcasting

South Africa, in particular, and Africa, in general, is a rapidly expanding telecommunications market. Cliffe Dekker's TMT unit has developed considerable expertise in advising clients on regulatory compliance. We are experienced in the drafting, preparation and negotiation of broadcasting and broadcasting services agreements, interconnection and facilities leasing agreements, hardware supply agreements, satellite service agreements, internet hosting and service agreements, value added network service agreements, virtual private network agreements, and standard terms and conditions for service providers. We have handled and executed service provider applications to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa).

Our technical understanding of the various communication protocols and network applications is extensive and we are able to assist clients with requirements peculiar to transmission technologies. We keep abreast of new developments in the available technologies and have a client base that includes operators from all of the technology platforms currently available in South Africa.

Our expertise extends to preparing submissions to licensing and legislative authorities on various technical and legal issues pertaining to the telecommunications and broadcasting industries.
