Regulator renews cellcos’ licences, checks their pulses

Following more than eight months of uncertainty, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has today renewed for 15 years the 2G mobile licences of GrameenPhone, Banglalink, Robi Axiata and CityCell. The move to resolve the stand-off over fees between the regulator and cellcos was prompted by a letter from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MoPT) to the BTRC asking it to issue the four concessions. As reported by local newspaper The Daily Star, the operators have been allowed to pay a secondary installment of their licence renewal fees within an extended deadline, without paying any late fees which had previously been demanded of them, whilst they must pay a third installment in December 2012.
