Neotel adds regulatory clout

Neotel has described as a "coup" the appointment of Icasa councillor Tracy Cohen

NEW FIXED-LINE OPERATOR Neotel has described as a "coup" the appointment of highly respected former telecommunications regulator Icasa councillor Tracy Cohen as its new executive head for regulatory affairs from September. Fin24.com broke the news recently and Neotel followed that with an announcement a few days later.

There had been considerable speculation as to where Cohen would end up after her four-year term of office at Icasa expired (she chose not to offer herself for re-election). At Icasa she'd been responsible for the markets and competition division, along with fellow councillor Robert Nkuna. A key part of that portfolio was developing detailed market definitions to determine which players were dominant and assessing the effectiveness of competition in those markets.
