For your information CCK has been battling Royal Media Services Ltd in the courts over these frequencies for the last 5 years.
Only last month did the High Court rule that CCK has the mandate in respect of broadcasting under the Constitution. Royal Media Services had contended that CCK did not have this mandate under the new Constitution and that therefore CCK should not regulate Royal Media Services.
CCK has actually not been fighting Royal Media Services for the last 5 years as you claim. If they did then they went to great lengthly to hide that. In fact there is at least one case filed about 4 years back where a party went to court for orders to compel CCK to enforce the law (which enforcement was going to be detrimental to RMS among others) and unsurprisingly CCK opposed the matter and even failed to obey Court Orders which had been issued for them to enforce the law.
It is about one year back that CCK made a move to enforce the same law they had refused to enforce all along that RMS lodged the Petition that was ruled on last month and which you are talking about- the said Petition was filed in 2012.
