Oman to introduce a third telecom provider

Oman’s Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA) has decided to finish all the procedures for a third telecom provider in the country to enhance the competition in the telecommunications sector, the telecom regulator said in a statement on Monday. The TRA didn’t give further details or the name of the new telecom provider.

The regulator issued a decision on Sunday urging telecom companies to speed up network, quality enhancement and bring down prices of telecom services. TRA also urged the telecom firms to conduct a survey of the various areas in the country to find out the extent of coverage and follow up on the performance of telecom companies.

The body directed telecom firms to provide within two weeks from the date of the decision, a plan for next three years.
