Muscat: The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has issued a bylaw on price control titled “Retail Tariff Regulation” that repeals the regulation issued vide Decision No. 27/2016.
The new bylaw comprises several regulatory provisions, including general provisions on retail tariffs for telecommunications services, special provisions for tenders offered to commercial beneficiaries and government institutions, and additional regulatory provisions on monitoring pricing practices that may exceed certain levels.
The regulation targets all licensees who provide public telecommunications services in retail markets.
The new bylaw seeks to keep pace with regional and international updates in the telecommunications sector.
It also seeks to promote fair competition and ensure transparency in the retail telecommunications services market, while at the same time safeguarding the rights and choices of beneficiaries.
