Question 1.1
(a) Types of Licenses Available for Broadcasting Purposes
ICASA (Independent Communications Authority of South Africa) issues several types of
licenses for broadcasting, each serving different purposes:
1. Commercial Broadcasting Licenses: These are issued to private companies aiming to
provide content for profit, such as television or radio stations that make money primarily
through advertising.
2. Community Broadcasting Licenses: These licenses are intended for non-profit
broadcasters that serve specific communities. These stations focus on local issues and are
generally supported by donations, grants, or limited advertising revenue.
3. Public Broadcasting Licenses: Granted to public service broadcasters like the SABC,
these licenses mandate the broadcaster to serve the public interest, providing educational,
informative, and entertainment content, rather than focusing on profit.
(b) Possible Crimes Committed in Respect of Information on a Computer Network
