Nawras fined for not inking deal with Injaz

The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) of Oman has fined Nawras OMR100,000 (US$260,000) over a complaint by Injaz International Telecom Company that Nawras had refused to conclude an agreement to provide resale service in accordance with the terms of the licence and the regulations of the TRA.

The TRA, after reviewing the facts, decided to impose the fine to be paid within one week from the decision. The regulator has also given Nawras 15 working days to conclude the resale agreement with Injaz under a plan presented to the TRA.

In its complaint to the TRA, Injaz asked it to call on Nawras to observe and keep to the licence issued to it and to sign an agreement in accordance with the requirements of the licence relating to the regulatory framework in force.

Injaz has also asked the TRA to address Nawras to apply solutions for the smart network that hosts Injaz to be able to launch its services. Nawras already has reseller agreements in place with service providers Mazoon and Samatel. The latter reseller is scheduled to launch services during the first quarter of next year.
