JOHANNESBURG : South Africa's Telkom is seeking an urgent court order to prevent telecoms regulator ICASA holding a spectrum auction in March, which would further delay the country's rollout of 5G and expansion of 4G capacity already held back by legal action.

A previous court ruling following separate objections from Telkom, broadcaster e.tv, and MTN Group prevented last year an auction of high-demand spectrum the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa is due to hold by the end of March. The application includes an urgent interdict to prevent ICASA from processing any applications until the review is heard, it said in a statement.

These errors include auctioning sub 1 Gigahertz frequency band when it is not yet available and is the subject of a legal challenge brought by e-tv, similar to objections raised by the company last year.
