2.Telecom submits on page 5, Regulations 6(2)(a) states that although Telecom acknowledge the importance of giving notice to the land owner and ensuring proper coordination of installation of telecommunications facilities to avoid chaos and effecting other services that also relies upon the usage of the same land such as water, electricity, aviation etc., Telecom is concerned that fourteen (14) days to notify the landowner; some whom are competitors may be too long and might result in anticompetitive behaviour and activities. Telecom thus propose that the period be shortened to seven (7) days.
3.Telecom in terms of page 5, Regulation 7(2)(b) propose that the date to be proposed when parties must meet for consultation in 8(2) must not be later than 3 days from the date of notice of objection.
4.Telecom in terms of page 5, Regulation 7(3)(c) propose that objections on the date should only be subject to the date not complying to the prescribe date in the Regulations referencing when the Carrier may proceed to install Telecommunications facilities.
5.Telecom in terms of page 6, Regulation 8(2) proposes that the consultation must take place within 3 days from the date of objection as per their comments under regulation 7(2)(b).

CommentReview &Consideration
1.Paratus notes its objection to the entire proposed Regulations. Paratus further submits that Section 68 allows the Authority to prescribe 'the manner, form and period of notice' (not whether or not notice must be given in the first place) to be given by a carrier to any person or public body in connection with the performance by the carrier of functions contemplated in Part 5 of the Act, and the 'procedure to be followed and consultations to be held' between a carrier and any affect person or public body. Acarrier must perform its functions in terms of Chapter 5 and in accordance with the regulations contemplated in section 68(2). Paratus submits that section 68 is not a model of clarity and must be read in context and considering the provisions of Part 5 of the Act (and cannot derogate therefrom). Paratus thus submits that the Authority should guard against impermissible dilution or limiting of the rights accorded in the Act through ultra vires regulations. They also propose that the regulation must employ language consist with the Act, and not lump concepts or obligations.
2.Paratus submits that it is important to distinguish between sharing of infrastructure and accessing land for purposes of installing equipment. Paratus submits that section 50 refers to Infrastructure Sharing and that that section specifically makes provision for the utility to refuse to lease infrastructure referred to under certain defined circumstances (50(7)).
3.Paratus submits that section 60 makes provision for a carrier to enter any land and construct or maintain telecommunications facilities upon, under or over such land. It does not require consent from the landowner or occupier of land and it does not make provision for any objection. Paratus further submits that if it was the Legislature's intention, it would have made specific provision therefore, such as provided for in section 50. Even section 61 makes provision for the carrier to agree with the local authority, yet sections 60 and 62 do not. This cannot be implied.
4.Paratus submits that section 62 provides for notice to be given to the local authority. In terms of the act, the local authority is only entitled to supervise the work to ensure that it does not affect their own underground pipes and cables.

JitterITU-T Y.2617 Jitter is measuring time difference in packet interarrival time. It is the variation in the latency on data packet inter-arrival time between the sending and receiving points. When some data packets take longer to travel from sending to the receiving end. The lower the measure of jitter the more stable a connection is and latency is important to VoIP and VoLTE end users. Jitter results from network congestion, timing drift and route changesMeasured by measuring the difference in the end-to-end latency, in milliseconds (ms), between data packets send and received.(a) No more than 300ms difference in the end-to-end latency between data packets local specified server. (b) No more than 100ms difference in the end-to-end latency between data packets international specified server.Individual licensees Class Comprehensive ECS/ECNS licensees Class ECS licensees Class ECNS licensees
LatencyITU-T Y.2617 The time between the first bit of a packet of a source entering a network, being received by the destination, which immediately sent a bit back to the source, and then the last bit of the packet arriving at the source across the network (round trip delay).It is recommended that delay is measured using: (a) UDPwith ICMP or TCP as fall-back option, (b) at least 10 measurements, and (c) calculated as an average of recorded roundtrip time values (typically expressed in milliseconds). The measurement server should return any UDPpacket payload immediately, allowing the client to calculate delay. The Unix echo service could be used for this function. The measurement setup should be insensitive to (user) clock changes during the measurement.(a) The average latency shall not be more than 300ms to transmit a data packet end to end from a public server (international IXP). (b) the average latency shall not be more than 100ms to transmit a data packet end to end from a public server (local IXP).Individual licensees Class Comprehensive ECS/ECNS licensees Class ECS licensees Class ECNS licensees

Recommended to send a large number of IP packets (e.g. at least 1000). Delay and packet loss measurements are typically performed over a longer period of time in order to allow for the time varying nature of network performance in packet-switched(a) Less than or Equal to 95% milliseconds (ms) for national.
