Strategic Alignment:

• Planning took into consideration, amongst others, the internal and external

environment, ICT Sector analysis, Minister’s Performance Agreements &

related Delivery Agreements, Government Outcomes as well as resource

considerations and risk assessment.

• Specific emphasis was given to priorities stemming from the National

Development plans , and the SIP-15.

• State Owned Companies (SOCs) were involved in the planning from the

inception so as to ensure alignment and integration of priorities.

• Plans aligned to the Framework for Strategic Plans and Annual Performance Plans developed by National Treasury as prescribed for Government Departments

• Planning was facilitated by members of the Technical Assistance Unit of National Treasury so as to ensure technical correctness in terms of:

o Measurability of targets (quantifiable where possible)

o Performance indicators (aligned to objectives)

o Time frames (2013/14 Targets unpacked into measurable quarterly targets)

• 1st and 2nd drafts of the Strategic Plan and APP were submitted to National Treasury and DPME for consideration and feedback.

• The draft Strategic Plan and APP was audited by the AG and feedback was discussed and affected where applicable.

• DoC will submit quarterly performance reports against its APP to the Executive Authority, National Treasury and DPME

• DoC would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the contribution of the PCC, Minister and Deputy Minister in the development of the Plans. Their advice and strategic direction was very beneficial to the planning process.

At the initial planning phase, the Department undertook an ICT Sector analysis

so as to inform the strategic plan. Such an analysis revealed amongst others the

following key ICT trends in SA:

• Increasing ICT adoption by SMMEs,

• Declining fixed-line subscriptions because of fixed to mobile substitution, particularly in the voice communications segment,

• Increasing investment into virtualisation and cloud computing,

• Growing market for business process outsourcing (BPO) services,

• Increasing telecoms crossovers, notably m-commerce,

• The broadband segment grew fastest in the four years to the end of 2011 and is set to continue in that trajectory over the next five years, albeit it at a lower rate of growth.

Key ICT trends in SA continued:

• The mobile segment will continue to grow over the next five years, despite a relatively high penetration rate which is estimated at 128,8%,

• The fixed-line sector will continue to underperform because of a combination of underinvestment in fixed network infrastructure and increasing fixed to mobile substitution,

• South African spending on IT services still depends heavily on government programmes and, despite a climate of relative fiscal austerity, the government will remain the largest spender onIT services, followed by financial services and telecoms.

Page 7: PRESENTATION TO THE PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIC PLAN (2013 – 2018) AND ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN (2013/14)

Key ICT trends in SA continued:

• It is projected that per capita consumer electronics spending will grow at a 11% CAGR to reach US$248 by 2016, from US$174 in 2012. Drivers will include increased broadband and mobile subscriber penetration, faster digital TV migration and falling prices of notebooks and flat screen TV sets as well as government digital divide programmes.

• In South Africa, the relatively low penetration of existing and emerging ICT products and services means there is significant growth potential in the sector. We expect this, along with a favourable macroeconomic outlook and progressive regulatory environment, to attract investments into the ICT sector and drive growth as well as job creation.

Market Analysis (1)Market Analysis (1)

Page 9: PRESENTATION TO THE PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIC PLAN (2013 – 2018) AND ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN (2013/14)

• It was estimated that South Africa had just over 7 million internet users at the end of 2011.

• This is equivalent to more than 14% of the population, which means that, during the year, the internet users base expanded by around 17%.

• Forecast 2012/13, South Africa will have more than 8.25 million regular internet users, equivalent to over 16% of the population

• In 2013, we will licence spectrum for broadband in 2.6 Ghz and 700 to 800 Mhz of Radio Frequency Spectrum to bolster access to broadband and to facilitate competition through new licensees into the market. This will generate more investment in the sector

• SABC revenue started to grow between 2009/10 and 2010/11, due to an increase in advertising revenues which increased by 19% year-on-year.

• In 2009 Top TV became the first subscription competitor to DSTV but has only managed to secure a miniscule share of the market.

• By 2010 2,639,341 subscribers were on Digital Satellite TV (DSTV), 95% of this number subscribe to the premium service, with only 123,686 subscribers remaining on the analogue service.

• IT is the growing subsectors of the ICT Market in South Africa, supported by the e-commerce legislation, the ECT Act 2005. Online services are also growing with the licensing of domain names by ZA Domain Name Authority providing easy access to online registration.

• The South African IT market revenue grew 2.5% from R60.36 billion in 2008 to reach R61.85 billion in 2009, (BMI-TechKnowledge ). The company expects the IT market to grow by 2.5% to R63.41 billion in 2010, and at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% to reach R83.97 billion in 2014.

• The Postal Market, offers huge opportunities in business and banking services. The plans to establish a Postbank as the bank of choice for the unbanked will get these majority of people on the banking network by 2014.

• The South African Post Office Group posted strong financial results for the financial year ending March 2011, achieving a 3% increase in revenue to 5,8 billion.

• SAPO turn-over for 2012 accounts to R6 billion with courier service at R1.8 billion.

A detailed analysis has been conducted in terms of the current challenges/gaps within these strategic priorities so as to ensure that the Department addresses such areas through the implementation of specific interventions

Page 13: PRESENTATION TO THE PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIC PLAN (2013 – 2018) AND ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN (2013/14)

Broadband•Based on the 2012 Broadband study commissioned by DoC - there is clearly lack of adequate broadband infrastructure, low broadband penetration per user, high cost of broadband access and limited competition. •Broadband policy focus aims to achieve 100% Broadband access and population coverage by 2020 as adopted by the NDP•Existing broadband backbone and access infrastructure focuses on the metropolitan areas, and the cost is unaffordable to the vast majority of the people.

In order to address market failures an the current status of Broadband in South Africa, the DoC will focus on finalising the Broadband Policy and Strategy to facilitate the deployment of Broadband backbone and access infrastructure especially in rural and underserved areas, with specific focus on public facilities.

Broadcasting Digital Migration (BDM)•Spectrum availability constraints the growth of the Broadcasting Sector.•The current analogue technology means that there is limited space for growth in the Broadcasting Sector. •This resulted in a decision by the ITU to migrate from analogue to digital broadcasting so as to achieve digital inclusion through a multiplicity of channels.

The Department does acknowledge current challenges affecting specific facets of the BDM value chain which it is addressing. However, over the short to medium term, priority will be given to, amongst others, expanding national DTT and satellite coverage, allocations of subsidised STBs, STB installer training as well as provision of technical user-support.

ICT Policy Review

Why:Accelerate ICT market convergence particularly in the infrastructure and ICT services to develop laws that take into account latest technology developments, Digital BroadcastingModernising ICT Infrastructure and encourage foreign and local investment in the country.Increasing accessibility to ICT services particularly in all rural and semi rural areas;Employment creation, and ICT Skills production for the knowledge economyResearch and Development, and manufacturing of electronicsEnsure affordability, increase uptake and usage of ICT services.To address market structure challenges including competition, redress – Black Economic Empowerment, Universal access(100%) to broadband services by 2020 thereby meeting the NDP targets on social inclusion.Addressing the regulatory imbalance where it has been observed, i.e. Funding and capacity in regulation making.

Over the short to medium term, the Department will finalise the ICT Policy review report which will feed into the development of the draft Green Paper. The Green Paper will be followed by a White Paper on National Integrated ICT Policy which will inform the drafting of the National ICT Bill.

Postbank

The Postbank plays a crucial role in providing financial services to targeted segments of our population, particularly rural and under-serviced communities. The Department in the short to medium term will prioritise the implementation of the Postbank Act with specific focus on, amongst others, incorporating the Postbank Company into a separate legal entity and processing the application for a banking license.

Postbank

Why•Bringing banking services to the unbanked section of the population•Create a bank that makes it possible for the lower income segment of population to access affordable banking services.•Through modern banking facilities that are accessible throughout the country, the Postbank will encourage the culture of saving amongst citizens.•Ensuring lending to rural and lower income markets •Building a bank of first choice, by rendering transactional services and lending facilities through, amongst others the use of existing infrastructure of the SA Post Office

The Postbank plays a crucial role in providing financial services to targeted segments of our population, particularly rural and under-serviced communities. The Department in the short to medium term will prioritise the implementation of the Postbank Act with specific focus on, amongst others, incorporating the Postbank Company into a separate legal entity and processing the application for a banking license.

E-Skills

South Africa has dropped from 47th to 72nd in the global e-readiness index in the last five years (2007 to 2012) simply because it does not have a coordinated approach to addressing the reality of the rapidly escalating impact of mobile ICT on every facet of South Africa’s current and future socio-economic position. Upgrading the overall skills at all layers of society and increasing efforts to build affordable infrastructure for all would allow the country to increase its ICT readiness and uptake and, in turn, spread its impacts across society (WEF, 2012). No government can sustain socio-economic equity, prosperity and social participation without a proactive approach to skilling itself (Government, Business, Education, Civil Society and organised labour) to being responsively engaged in an ICT enabled environment.

In order to address the current e-Skills gaps in the country, in the short term, the Department will prioritise the establishment of a Single Integrated Entity for e-Skills through the collaboration of the e-Skills Institute, NEMISA and ISSA. Over the short to medium term, this newly established Single Integrated Entity for e-Skills will focus on development of the National e-Skills Development Plan and will implement a range of e-Skills initiatives aimed at increasing the e-Skills capacity across Government, business, educations, civil society and organised labour.

Public and Community Broadcasting

In terms of Public Broadcasting, over the short to medium term, the Department will focus on completing the Public Broadcasting Policy review towards the development of a Position Paper which will inform the Public Broadcasting (SABC) Bill and Act.

With regards to Community Broadcasting, the Department intends in the short term to finalise the Community Broadcasting Support Strategy and commence with immediate implementation after approval.

ICT Research

Programme 3 of the Department, Policy Research and Capacity Building, will have a specific research focus which will entail the development and implementation of a focused Research Programme aimed at supporting priority policies. Attention will be given to WSIS thematic areas aligned to Government priorities, publishing of revised e-Barometer indicators as well as ITU-D guidelines on Green ICT’s.
