Court rules Telkom's infrastructure may not be accessed without following prescribed regulatory processes.

The High Court in the Western Cape has ruled in favour of Telkom in the court case against Vodacom relating to the unlawful access to its infrastructure.

The court also ordered Vodacom to pay for costs.

Telkom brought an urgent application before the court following "Vodacom's unlawful use of its infrastructure in the Dennegeur residential estate".

In a statement, the telecoms operator says its concern was that Vodacom unlawfully accessed its duct infrastructure. Telkom subsequently requested the court to order Vodacom to remove its cabling from its ducts.

"Telkom is pleased that the court ruled in our favour and agreed that our infrastructure may not be accessed without following prescribed process," the statement reads.
