Nepal poised to approve controversial unified licensing regime

The government of Nepal is set to rubber stamp the implementation of the controversial universal licensing regime, although critics argue that the plan will only create increased uncertainty in the mountain Kingdom’s telecoms industry. The Himalayan News Service adds that the regulator, the Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA), is accelerating its efforts to install the new provisions for unified licensing and has proposed a licence fee of NPR295 million (USD3.54 million), a renewal fee of NPR20 billion, 4% of annual income as a royalty payment and a 2% levy, to go to the national Rural Telecommunication Development Fund (RTDF).
