The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority ("TRA"), Sultanate of Oman ("Sultanate"), announces the commencement of the process to award a third Licence for the Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Exploitation of a Telecommunications System to Provide Public Mobile Telecommunications Services in the Sultanate.
The TRA considers that the enhancement of competition in the mobile telecommunications services market will be of significant benefit to consumers and to the economy of the Sultanate, and is consistent with the General Policy of the Government as well the TRA’s mandate to promote market entry under the Telecommunications Regulatory Act.
The availability of a range of additional radio spectrum that could be deployed is expected to provide a multitude of mobile telecom services, particularly mobile broadband, to the consumers in the Sultanate.
The TRA will on the 15th November, 2016, announce on its website (www.tra.gov.om) details of the process to register interest in the opportunity, and the purchase of the Information Memorandum.
