However, the Minister stated clearly today that the substance of the reform policy has not materially changed.“The Minister also announced that the Department of Telecommunications has developed timelines for the proper implementation of the many work streams required for the implementation of the reform process to ensure a smooth transition.“Further, in order to progress the functions of the Authority, the Minister responsible for Telecommunications has been given transitional authority in section 110 of the RA bill which will allow for the implementation of all work streams to be started immediately, whilst the Authority is being staffed.”
