Invitations to Apply
Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for an assignment of radio frequency spectrum are issued by ICASA in terms of the Radio Regulations 2011.
The ITA procedure has not yet been utilised – ITAs for available frequency assignments in the 2.6 and 3.5 GHz bands, first mooted in 2006, were withdrawn in June 2010.
