MUSCAT : The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has completed the first phase of a joint national initiative between the government, the TRA and licensees to improve telecommunications services offered at underdeveloped geographic locations known as Comprehensive Service Areas.
The initiative seeks to enhance the quality of services provided to beneficiaries in areas facing infrastructure and coverage challenges.
The initiative focuses on utilizing the savings made from the postponement of hikes on royalty rates that are typically charged upon the conversion of connections of telecommunication station from ‘satellite technology’ to ‘fiber optics’. This procedure will enhance the performance of telecommunication towers and achieve a more reliable and stable user experience.
