Question 1.1
(a) Sorts of Licenses Accessible for Broadcasting
There are a few kinds of licenses that the Free Interchanges Authority of South Africa (ICASA)
issues for broadcasting:
1. Commercial Telecom Licenses: Truly to private elements that expect to give content to
business motivations, for example, TV or radio broadcasts that create income through
promoting.
2. Community Telecom Licenses: Intended for non-benefit local area based telecasters that
serve the interests of a specific local area. These telecasters frequently center around nearby
issues and are normally supported by gifts, awards, or restricted publicizing.
3. Public Telecom Licenses: Gave to public help telecasters like the South African Telecom
Company (SABC), which is commanded to serve the public interest by giving instructive,
educational, and diversion content without focusing on business targets.
