## Description

Waspa is the Wireless Application Service Providers' Association, a self-regulatory body formed in 2004. Their mission is to represent and regulate their voluntary members, who are mobile-based Value Added Service (VAS) providers, also known as WASPs. To ensure industry standards, membership with a recognized Code of Conduct is compulsory for all WASPs by Telkom Mobile, Cell C, MTN, and Vodacom. To enforce their rules, Waspa has developed a comprehensive complaints handling process that is independent of their board. Anyone can lodge a complaint, and each complainant is given a reference number. Complaints are processed by an independent secretariat, with the adjudication carried out by a panel of ICT lawyers. In cases of immediate consumer harm, an emergency panel of adjudicators may shut down offending services before a formal adjudication. Waspa also has a compliance department that checks advertising and tests services daily for compliance with their Code of Conduct. They are an active member of the International Audiotext Regulators Association. Overall, Waspa is committed to ensuring a fair and transparent mobile-based VAS industry for both consumers and service providers.
