The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), which
regulates telecommunications in South Africa, issued four licenses for com-
mercial WiMAX services to the Internet Service Providers iBurst, Sentech,
Neotel, and Telkom. South Africa currently hosts a few scattered operational
WiMAX networks, but with the issuance of these licenses, the country is ex-
pected see many more networks appear in the upcoming months. Delays in
the award of licenses for providing WiMAX services and the limited roll-out
of services that have been licensed has resulted in dampening of its poten-
tial impact. Only those companies that have already deployed WiMAX have
appreciated its impact. These companies are all using Telkom’s scaled down
version of wimax. According to studies conducted in 2008, 8% of corpora-
tions in South Africa have adopted WiMAX options as part of their connec-
tivity mix in 2007 but they did not use wimax as a preferred form of connec-
tivity and deployed it where no other options were available, such as in rural
areas or areas with rough terrain.

Galaxy Wireless Communications Limited has launched the coun-
try’s first Mobile broadband service based on the IEEE 802.16e

ment of WiMAX in Nigeria and currently holds licenses for 24 of
