ZAMBIA Information and Communication Technology Authority (ZICTA) has temporarily withdrawn its order to five Internet Services Providers (ISPs) to cease operations and has given the affected organisations a five day ultimatum to renew the licenses.
ZICTA director of public relations and consumer, Lotty Kakubo said in a statement that the withdrawal of the order was meant to pave way for further discussions with affected Internet Service Providers (IPS).
“ZICTA would like to inform the public that it has temporarily withdrawn its earlier statement indicating that five Internet Service Providers (IPS) should cease operations effective October 8, 2010 for non renewal of operating license,” Kakubo stated.
“This is to pave way for further discussions with affected Internet Service Providers regarding this matter. The authority has since given the affected ISPs a five day ultimatum in which to remedy the situation.”
Yesterday, ZICTA directed that five ISPs cease their operation by October 8 for non renewal of licenses.
Kakubo named the affected ISPs as Zamnet Communications Systems Limited, Realtime Technology Alliance Limited, trading as Realtime Zambia, Coppernet Solutions Limited, Microlink Technologies, and Pronet Zambia Limited.
