Jean-Pierre Biyiti bi Essam, ministre Posts and Telecommunications.
Key points of both ordinary and extraordinary sessions of the Interdepartmental Committee for the allocation of frequency bands (CIABAF)?
Unquestionably, I think the main resolution is one that affects the frequency bands. This resolution will put order in the field of management and operating frequencies. So far, it is clear that they are operated in a mess.
Resolution we took also marks a milestone in that we now know exactly what types of services are affected how and what other band.
Does this mean that the rebuild is now complete?
There was no re-creation as such. You journalists are fond out these expressions. When a law is promulgated by the Head of State, to come into application requires implementing legislation that may decrees, orders or other. It so happens that these texts can not be created in a split second after the legislation adopted.
It takes some time. Often these are texts that are often developed through interdepartmental meetings. As you can see in most laws, there is a transitional period.
And during this period, we will not stop the world changing. It is therefore necessary to arrange temporary or transitional.
Why only now that this type of measurement involved. Is this a way for you to pave the way for new operators?
The move comes now because the CIABAF took some time to implement. But this does not mean that the vacuum was stellar.
You know that in the past, the Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (TRA) has awarded in the past, but are essentially temporary and revocable a number of frequency bands. It today that these awards are final. You mention the arrival of new operators, it is true.
Indeed, as the government decided to open the segment of mobile telephony in some time and we welcome new operators and it is good that these operators know when they arrive on what frequencies they will work.
It is curious to know the nature of penalties which may be applied against offenders?
Do not talk right now of sanctions since we made a decision and that decision will be implemented with the cooperation of all. The work we do today benefits everyone.
An operator is assigned a frequency has the right to use it without being disturbed by interference and others. So it is in the interest of telecommunication operators to have a frequency in an orderly universe.
Now it may be that permissions having been granted such provisional or another, it may be forced to move if he can apply certain measures to alleviate the conditions under which it is forced to move.
But these are cases that we'll look after each other. I do believe that there will be someone to keep it from being tidied this frequency range because it is an order that benefits all.
Would you say that we are moving inexorably towards the end of the administrative tolerance?
There is no administrative tolerance. I know it's a term you love a lot in the middle of the communication. But here we are in an area that is next to one that inspires your question. Initially, the CIABAF is provided by the law of 98 has taken time to implement.
While he was not there, we had to take provisional measures. As of today, we're gone, we take final action.
We put a good order in business and we will inform each other of the new order in the field of frequency management. We call upon the cooperation of all for this new environment we put in place is beneficial to all.
With the effective entry into CIABAF scene, one might fear that future art is stripped of its substance ...
Oh no! We have to explain things well. There is no conflict between the CIABAF and ART. You know, the frequency domain is a domain of the sovereign state.
It is inconceivable that an agency important as it can on the subject have the last word or decision. Thus, the interministerial CIABAF is an instance in the field of frequency management.
It is good that there is an instance and Cameroon has thought of a committee Interdepartmental who ultimately decides and the Telecommunications Regulatory Agency's role is to somehow be instrumental of the substitute CIABAF. There is no contradiction, but rather an articulation between the two bodies.
An instance that does the job day to day management of the monitoring frequencies and another higher authority that allocates these frequencies between different operators. Let us be clear, there is no conflict between the CIABAF and ART. The proof is that the ART headquarters in through its Director General, within the CIABAF.
