The Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (Cran) has withdrawn a previously published spectrum application notice involving Click Cloud Hosting Services CC.
Cran opened a new application and tariff submission for public comment.
Cran revealed this in a government gazette dated 2 April. Cran confirmed the withdrawal of an earlier notice issued in February.
“The Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia hereby withdraws the following spectrum application notices.”
In a February notice Cran had informed the public of a spectrum licence application by Click Cloud Hosting Services CC and invited comments on the proposed use of radio frequencies.
By withdrawing the notice, Cran has reset the application process. Cran chief executive officer Emilia Nghikembua approved the withdrawal.
Cran has now published a new tariff submission by the same company under General Notice No. 232.
“Click Cloud Hosting Services CC has filed a tariff with the Authority as set out in Schedule 1,” the gazette outlining pricing for hosted PBX packages, SIP trunk services and related fees.
Cran said the public can review the tariffs at its offices or online.
“Any person may examine copies of the tariffs submitted at the head offices of the Authority during normal business hours,” the notice states.
Members of the public have 14 days to submit written comments. The applicant will have another 14 days to respond.
In a general notice No. 233, Cran introduced a new spectrum licence application by the company, replacing the withdrawn notice.
“The applicant referred to in the table below has submitted the following application to the authority,” the Gazette states.
The application covers several radio frequency channels and proposes fixed telecommunications services in the Khomas, Erongo and Oshana regions. The company is 100% Namibian-owned.
Cran said the public can again submit comments within 14 days.
All submissions must include full contact details and be sent to Cran’s Windhoek offices.
The withdrawal and re-publication restart the process and allow for public input before a final decision is made.
